**Contrex** is a brand of [mineral water](/source/Mineral_water) owned since 1992 by [Nestlé Waters](/source/Nestl%C3%A9_Waters), a branch of the Swiss group [Nestlé](/source/Nestl%C3%A9), and is part of the *Vittel* mineral water company that includes [Vittel](/source/Vittel) and [Hépar](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=H%C3%A9par&action=edit&redlink=1). The water, whose source is located in [Contrexéville](/source/Contrex%C3%A9ville) in the French *département* of [Vosges](/source/Vosges_(departement)), was discovered by Charles Bagard, the first doctor of [Louis XV](/source/Louis_XV).

## Information

The water is bottled in a 250,000 m2 factory complex that employs around 900 people. 635 million bottles of all kinds are produced a year, of which 11% are exported.[1] The bottling factory is connected by pipelines with the Vittel factory in [Vittel](/source/Vittel), a few kilometers from Contrexéville, which permits bottling of the Contrex water in either Vittel or in Contrexéville.

Contrex is a highly mineralized water and has [diuretic](/source/Diuretic) properties.
