GREENWICH, CT - XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO) has been selected by bottled water distributor Aquaservice to manage the full scope of its third-party logistics operations for bottled water in Spain.
Under the new agreement, XPO Logistics will load and transport full water containers from Aquaservice's five natural springs to the company's 14 branches throughout Spain. XPO will also manage the reverse logistics, which involves returning empty containers to the springs. Aquaservice will continue to provide the final distribution to customers in 25 Spanish provinces.
