Our team | Contacts
Nordbeans, nice to meet you!
Nordbeans was founded 10 years ago as a family business, originally just Martin, Karel and their wives.
Over the years, we’ve built a fantastic team that can always be relied upon. Each of us strives to be at the top of our field, improve the world around us, and set a new standard for gastronomy in the Czech Republic.
We are also united by our love for the Jizera Mountains, sports, and above all, good coffee and pastries.
We care about good relationships and growth. That’s why we work hard to create a stable environment where everyone feels comfortable and has the opportunity to grow.
Management
Martin Kozel
Martin began his journey at Nordbeans as a roaster, where he defined the roasting style and ensured that the coffee always reached customers in top quality. Gradually, he took on the responsibility of building the company's operational system and organizational structure. Under his leadership, Nordbeans operates efficiently and is on track to fulfill its long-term visions. His key role is to ensure that the company has a clear direction and that our vision and values are integrated into the daily operations of the company. He now also leads the sales department, further strengthening the company's growth and stability.

Karel Kozel
Karel has been our finance specialist from day one. While his brother focused on coffee roasting, Karel took on the responsibility for the company’s financial and accounting management, as well as the development of business activities. As the company grew, he assumed full financial leadership to ensure its long-term stability and healthy growth. Although his primary focus is on finance, he stays closely connected with the roastery, contributing to the selection of green coffee and building long-term relationships with producers. He also oversees the setup of the roastery’s operational system to maintain its high standards and deliver a top-quality product.
