Supply Chain à Mexique

Our WHY is INVITING the WORLD to EXPERIENCE our BEST WATER BRANDS as well as PLANT BASED PRODUCTS.

We bring to life our iconic global brands EVIAN, VOLVIC & ALPRO.

At the same time, we take care of bringing plant-based food and drinks reflecting our desire to offer a wider choice to all consumers, especially the growing number of ‘flexitarians’ looking to diversify their protein sources, and people with dietary constraints or preferences.

We operate on a unique business model: partnership with local distributors. We work with more than 150 distributors, operating in more than 110 countries. The team behind it is no more than 100 people, with employees strategically based around the world. In fact, we are one of the most culturally diverse Business Units in Danone with about 30 different nationalities located in over 20 countries.
