Buencafé, the brand of Colombian coffee growers and the leading 100% Colombian freeze-dried coffee company, received the recognition as Best Private Label Supplier at Walmart Chile’s 2026 Supplier Summit, one of the most relevant retail events in the country.
Held at Espacio Riesco in Santiago, Chile, the 2026 Supplier Summit brought together more than 1,200 representatives from supplier companies and established itself as Walmart Chile’s main annual meeting with the strategic partners that are part of its value chain.
Under the concept “Together, the Future Arrives Sooner”, the event placed at the center of the conversation changes in consumer habits, technology, the evolution of e-commerce, and the new challenges facing retail in responding to customer needs.
This recognition is received on behalf of the more than 556,000 Colombian coffee-growing families, the reason for being of the National Federation of Coffee Growers and a fundamental part of the history behind every cup of Colombian coffee.
It is also a recognition for the nearly 1,000 people who are part of Buencafé. Their work, knowledge, experience, and commitment make it possible to transform the coffee produced in Colombia and, through freeze-drying, bring it to consumers in different markets around the world.
From the countryside to the Buencafé plant, there is a chain of knowledge, dedication, and work that makes it possible to add value to Colombian coffee and turn it into products capable of reaching farther and farther.
The concept of this edition of the Supplier Summit precisely summarizes the spirit that makes achievements like this possible: the future is built as a team.
For Walmart Chile, its suppliers are protagonists and co-builders of its history, partners with whom it shares the challenge of understanding consumers, developing new solutions, and offering products that respond to their needs. During the Summit, the company highlighted the importance of growing together with companies that are experts in their respective categories and of building long-term relationships.
In this context, the recognition of Buencafé also represents the consolidation of a relationship built around quality, trust, and the ability to respond to the needs of an increasingly demanding market. Buencafé was previously distinguished with this award, and this new recognition reaffirms the path traveled while opening the door to new challenges and opportunities to continue bringing Colombian coffee to consumers around the world.
This honor reflects the commitment and excellence with which the work of coffee growers and the fruit of this land are brought to more than 60 countries around the globe.
Thank you, Walmart Chile, for trusting us and for allowing us to be part of the lives of Chilean families.
