From the Ground Up

It started with a simple conversation. A cup of bad coffee at a manufacturing event, a shared frustration, and a big idea. Amy Teal and Mike Franz saw the same problem from two different angles. Mike, a manufacturing veteran, knew the critical need for skilled workers. Amy, with a knack for turning fresh ideas into action, saw the potential to solve it. The solution? ShopFloor Coffee.

Here’s the deal: 20% of every purchase goes straight into training the next generation of skilled workers. Because the manufacturing industry doesn’t just need better coffee; it needs a better future. And we’re here to brew both. No gimmicks, no fluff—just bold, quality coffee crafted for the realities of the shop floor.

Amy, as a woman founder and CEO, brings the energy and fresh thinking manufacturing needs. Mike, with his deep roots in the industry, keeps us grounded in what really matters. Together, they’re proving that fresh ideas and hard work can build something extraordinary.

What started as a simple chat has evolved into a mission to build a stronger, more skilled manufacturing community. We’re brewing change, one cup at a time, blending passion for excellence with dedication to the workforce that matters.
