CALDIO was established as a society on November 30th, 2010 in the community of Cofradia de Chocolon. CAFESUMEX and San Cristobal Coffee Importers have been working with CALDIO off and on for the last nine years, collaborating to improve coffee quality and establish strict coffee production process controls. By focusing on quality coffee CALDIO has provided better and more stable coffee prices to its producing members.

Associates of CALDIO gather weekly in the town hall, where the organization also maintains a small office. Additionally, CALDIO owns and operates the El Pantano wet mill, located just outside of town. The president of CALDIO is Sr. Alfredo Pulido Soto.
