The typical Antwerp coffee brand Roode Pelikaan quietly disappears from the streets. It was renamed abroad for the chic "Pelican Rouge". The story begins more than 150 years ago in the 19th century in Antwerp. In 1863 Joseph van Leckwijck and his sons started a coffee roasting company called the Continental Society for Roasting Coffee. Here they learned the art of roasting coffee, all under the original brand name "Red Pelican". Roode Pelikaan once, together with other brands such as Rombouts, Beyers Koffie, Miko and others, designed the grandeur of Antwerp as an international coffee port.
Roode Pelikaan has been part of an international group since 1983 that focused on the rental of coffee machines.
