Nestlé Waters to Invest €200 Million at Perrier Site in France
Nestlé Waters, Nestlé Group’s bottled water division and the national leader in the bottled water market in France with seven brands, has announced an ambitious plan to increase production at its Perrier bottling site in France.
The Perrier Cap 2020 plan is part of a €200 million multi-annual investment plan to help achieve Nestlé Waters’ ambitious goal of producing two billion bottles in 2020. It includes the construction of a single modern, centralized, 100,000 sq m production unit and the installation of five new bottling lines, increasing total production capacity to 14 lines. This will boost the production capacity of Perrier PET, glass and can products, which will be distributed from the site near the source in Vergèze in southern France, to the rest of the country and for export.
Logistics at the site will be completely redesigned to improve its service to customers, notably with a return to rail transport for long-distance exports in support of sustainable development. Renovation improvements will also include enhancing access and traffic flow to strengthen safety in the workplace for employees and visitors.
