History of Vittel
Vittel, a prominent brand of mineral water, has a rich history that dates back to the late 19th
century. The story begins in the small town of Vittel, located in northeastern France, known for its
natural springs and therapeutic waters. In 1854, Louis Bouloumié acquired the Vittel spring and
began bottling and selling the water for its reputed health benefits.
In 1898, the
Compagnie
Générale des Eaux Minérales de Vittel was formed, marking the beginning of Vittel's commercial
production and the expansion of its bottling operations. The brand gained popularity not only in
France but also internationally, becoming synonymous with quality mineral water.
In 1992,
Vittel was acquired by Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage company. This acquisition
allowed Vittel to leverage Nestlé's global distribution network and marketing expertise, further
enhancing its presence in the bottled water market. Today, Vittel remains a trusted brand, known for
its pure, natural mineral water and its commitment to sustainability and environmental
responsibility in its production processes.
