Nestlé waters
A trusting partnership
Goods transport
Since 2010, CAPTRAIN France has been conveying bottled water from Vittel and Contrexéville to Nestlé Waters’ French distribution sites in Arles and Merrey and to all four corners of Northern Europe.
In 2020, Nestlé Waters entrusted us with its entire traffic flow from the Vosges region to two new destinations in Montreuil-Bellay and Worms.
We are currently operating 700 trains per year for Nestlé Waters, thereby handling the lion’s share of our client’s rail traffic for the Vittel, Contrexéville and Hépar brands.
Thanks to their regularity and their operational efficiency, the teams at CAPTRAIN France enable us to uphold our commitments in terms of reducing our carbon footprint. Going beyond our business relations, we have built a genuine partnership with CAPTRAIN France with a joint aim of reducing our C02 emissions, a goal that was fulfilled in 2020 with the introduction of the Eurodual bi-modal locomotive.
In the years to come, our rail transport plan will be taken to a new level. The expertise of our partner will be a key strength in helping us to win the battle to protect our environment and to reduce the impact of our logistics on the road networks and future mobility options.
