History
editAfter decades of business in the coffee industry, Mrs. and Mr. Yves Baron started manufacturing their own bean-to-cup coffee brewers in 1996. In 2011, they sold the company to their son Frank Baron.[5]
The enterprise said it was possibly the first in the world to launch Internet connected touchscreen coffeemakers in 2012.[6] Cafection has partnerships with Apple, Google, Aramark, Facebook, Microsoft and Bill and Melinda Gates' Foundation.[7]
In February 2013, Cafection was named "Business of the Year" at the Fidéides gala, held by the Chamber of Commerce of Quebec City.[8]
