This innovative product was jointly developed by SipWell Belgium and Capsnap Europe as a convenient and space-saving alternative for private households and small offices. These are the precise target markets of the number one water cooler distributor in Mauritius in its plan for achieving further turnover growth. Vital Fontaines currently supplies over 5,000 water coolers on the Island of Mauritius. The popular holiday island destination in the Indian Ocean is now the second country after Belgium where this new 10 litre water bottle has been introduced for supplying water dispensers.Less is moreThe water cooler industry has for a long time pointed to the need for smaller bottle volumes than the 5 gallon bottles with their 18.9 litre contents. Capsnap and SipWell met this demand by introducing their innovative 10 litre bottle to the market in 2007. The handle on the new 10 litre bottle is a worldwide innovation. It has been placed on the shoulder area of the bottle for the first time. This makes the bottle easy to carry, because it no longer needs to be turned over on its side. The new 10 litre bottle is a double sensation; in addition to the big improvement in handling it also scores with appealing design. The standard bottle is blue. But anyone who wants to bring a splash of colour into their home can choose their water cooler bottle in pink or turquoise.Number one on MauritiusVital Water Bottling Company Ltd. is the market leader on Mauritius for drinking water filled in bottles.
