Coffee Planet, a coffee company founded in the UAE in 2005, is marking its 20th anniversary having built one of the region’s most integrated coffee operations, with a presence spanning multiple markets and sectors.
The company began by supplying coffee through petrol station convenience stores.
That network laid the foundation for its entry into retail and hospitality channels, a push that was supported by the opening of a roastery in Dubai in 2008.
Coffee Planet reports 19% revenue growth and eyes global expansion in 2026
Coffee Planet recorded a 19 per cent increase in revenue in 2025 and has maintained a compound annual growth rate of 10.7 per cent over the past decade. The company now serves more than 1,000 business-to-business clients and delivers over 21 million cups of coffee each month across the GCC.
The brand supplies coffee to more than 70 per cent of four- and five-star hotels in the UAE, alongside clients in the corporate, public sector, travel, and retail segments.
“Since the inception of Coffee Planet, we have focused on building a model that prioritises consistency, service excellence, and long-term partnerships. As the region continues to evolve, we are seeing a clear shift towards locally driven operations, and our UAE foundation allows us to respond quickly while maintaining quality at scale,” Allan Jones, Founder & Chairman said in a statement.
At the centre of the company’s operations is a 26,000 sq. ft. roasting facility in Jebel Ali with an annual capacity of 5,000 tonnes, described as one of the largest single-site roasting operations in the UAE and among the highest in the GCC.
The facility produces more than 450 SKUs each month across proprietary and private label ranges and is supported by an in-house laboratory for quality control and product development.
The local production model has reduced the company’s reliance on imports and allowed it to maintain supply continuity. Coffee Planet is projecting a 25–30 per cent increase in roasting volumes in 2026, driven by demand across key sectors.
As part of its 2026 growth strategy, Coffee Planet will open new roasteries in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The company is also continuing its expansion across the GCC, the UK, Egypt, and Pakistan, and will enter new markets including Seychelles and Singapore.
Beyond roasting, Coffee Planet manages over 8,000 coffee machines across the UAE. A technical team handles more than 2,000 service calls per month, with an average response time of three hours. The company also provides equipment supply, technical servicing, and barista training.
As it enters its next phase of expansion, Founder and Chairman Allan Jones will take on an expanded role as Chief Executive Officer. The move is intended to bring closer alignment between the company’s long-term strategy and its day-to-day operations.
