Business Opportunity in Italy – Natural Spring Water Bottling Plant in Tuscany
This business opportunity in Italy comprises a natural spring water source and established water bottling plant in Tuscany, located in the municipality of Cantagallo in the province of Prato. The property includes approximately 1,200 square metres (12,912 square feet) of industrial buildings, around 1.1 hectares (2.7 acres) of land and infrastructure designed for the collection and bottling of spring water.
Located in the Tusco-Emilian Apennines, the property occupies two separate parcels at approximately 600 and 800 metres above sea level. One parcel contains the bottling facility, while the second contains the natural springs supplying the plant.
The bottling plant occupies a site of approximately 5,765 square metres. The production building extends to approximately 1,200 square metres and was developed for commercial bottled-water production. The facility is currently not operating and would need to be restarted by a new owner. According to the supplied property information, its production potential is up to 50 million bottles of water per year.
An artesian well drilled to approximately 60 metres provides water used for cleaning the bottling lines and associated production operations. Electricity is already connected, while telephone, gas, heating and internet infrastructure would need to be connected, installed or upgraded according to the requirements of the new operation.
The second parcel extends to approximately 5,490 square metres and contains the natural spring sources. Water is conveyed from the springs to the production facility through an approximately 1.8-kilometre collection pipeline designed to transport the water from the source to the plant.
The springs are situated within a predominantly wooded protection area with limited surrounding development. The water is described as oligomineral, or low in dissolved minerals. Any commercial bottling, labelling, classification, health-related statements or mineral-water designation would remain subject to the relevant technical documentation, licences and regulatory requirements applicable to the operation.
An important element for commercial buyers is the possibility of expanding the existing production facility. This creates potential for increased bottling capacity, additional production lines, warehousing or other related industrial uses, subject to planning permission and the appropriate approvals.
This natural spring property in Italy may therefore be of interest to beverage companies, bottled-water producers, food and drink groups, private investors or operators seeking to establish or expand a water production business in Tuscany.
The property is in the municipality of Cantagallo, in northern Tuscany. Pistoia is approximately 33 km away, Prato 40 km and Florence 70 km. Lucca is approximately 75 km, Pisa 95 km and the Tuscan coast at Viareggio is around 100 km away.
Florence Amerigo Vespucci Airport is approximately 60 km from the property, Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport approximately 75 km and Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport approximately 105 km.
This is an unusual commercial property in Tuscany combining natural spring resources, existing water-collection infrastructure, an established bottling facility and potential for future expansion.
