Founded in 1963, Kimbo is one of the most recognised brands in Italy with a rich heritage of creating the finest coffee in the world and delivering a timeless excellence in every cup. Today in Naples, the America’s Cup Partnership (ACP) welcomes Kimbo as both an Official Supplier of the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup and most importantly, the Official Coffee of the regatta.

The long history of Kimbo stretches back to the early 1960’s when the Rubino brothers seized the opportunity offered by new packaging techniques. With the revolutionary vacuum-packed can, authentic traditional Neapolitan coffee could suddenly be brought everywhere. With this goal, Cafè do Brasil SpA, now Kimbo S.p.A., was founded in 1963, and quickly became one of the most important European coffee roasters with their coffee becoming famous throughout Italy and then worldwide under the Kimbo brand.

Coffee is refined and roasted at the Melito di Napoli factory plant that extends over 40,000 square meters, where equipment and production processes are constantly updated, ensuring that the highest production standards are always achieved while fully complying with environmental policies.

Kimbo is a name that evokes exotic lands where coffee beans are cultivated and in 1994 Kimbo ranked second in the retail sector of the Italian market for packaged coffee, a position that it still holds today. The company’s mission is to spread Italian coffee throughout the world and make a quality product inspired by the Neapolitan tradition, authentically made in Italy and created with the most advanced technology, while respecting people and the environment.

As an Official Supplier to the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup, Andersen brings a combination of strategic thinking, technological expertise and a global perspective to an event where innovation and performance have been at the heart of competition for 175 years.

Mulino Caputo, one of Naples’ most celebrated and internationally recognised flour producers, headquartered in San Giovanni a Teduccio (Naples), is both an Official Supplier and the Official Flour of the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup. The partnership brings together two organisations with deep respect for tradition, craftsmanship and innovation, as Naples prepares to host the America’s Cup for the first time in the competition’s 175-year history.

Founded in Naples in 1924, the Caputo family has been producing flour for more than a century and today its distinctive products are used by pizza makers, bakers, pastry chefs and professional kitchens around the world. Remaining closely connected to its Neapolitan heritage, Mulino Caputo has become synonymous internationally with the art of authentic Neapolitan pizza.

The partnership will see Mulino Caputo play an active role throughout the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup programme in Naples, bringing the flavours, traditions and hospitality of the host city to the teams, partners, guests and international audience attending the event.

For Mulino Caputo, the association with the America’s Cup provides a global platform from which to showcase both the company's Neapolitan heritage and the extraordinary culinary culture of the city. Antimo Caputo, Chief Executive of Mulino Caputo, further added: “For our family, seeing the America’s Cup come to Naples is a source of enormous pride. Naples is our home and has been at the heart of everything we have done for more than 100 years. To become the Official Flour of the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup allows us to welcome the world to our city through one of its greatest traditions - its food. The America’s Cup represents excellence, passion, innovation and an endless pursuit of perfection, values that we recognise very strongly at Mulino Caputo.”

The partnership also creates a natural connection between two very different worlds united by a common philosophy. America’s Cup teams relentlessly refine their boats, sails and technology in pursuit of marginal gains, while Caputo's millers carefully select and blend grains to produce flours tailored to the precise requirements of the world's leading pizza makers and bakers. Both combine tradition with technology, experience with innovation and craftsmanship with performance.
