➜ Short description

The famous company Lavazza is looking for two new collections of products destined to the HORECA channel (bars, restaurants, hotels) and which are specifically aimed at supporting activities performed in coffee preparation, administration and consumption areas, such as worktops, counters, and tables (Food Service Hotspots).
