The capsules will be produced for MZB's most prestigious and popular brands, including Chock full o’Nuts®, Hills Bros.®, Kauai Coffee® and Segafredo Zanetti®. 

"Enhancing high-growth segments with dedicated production capacity has always been a goal of the Group," said Alberto Lusini, President of MZB-USA. "In the US single-serve coffee sector, Nespresso® compatible capsules are the fastest growing product and our strategic partnership with Ultramar caffè - La Natura Lifestyle will provide MZB-USA and our customers with a quick and profitable entry point for this increasingly popular format," added Lusini.
