Grape to Glass
New Zealand’s wine industry is kiwi business at it’s best - creating sought after brands and wine products by adding value to natural and sustainable primary produce.
The supply chain connecting wine maker to wine consumer is a long one. Ensuring product quality from grape to glass is our number one priority, and CEL has invested at all stages of that supply chain to meet the demands of an essential and rapidly growing kiwi export industry.

From field to steel
While many winemakers do their thing from their own vineyards, much of New Zealand’s wine production depends on moving grapes from the field (predominantly from Central Otago and Marlborough) to state-of-art wine making facilities based in Marlborough, New Zealand’s largest winemaking region.
CEL trucks move grapes from the field directly to the wine making facilities. Doing this involves a highly sophisticated tracking and provenance guarantee system, ensuring the integrity of the grape at all stages of its journey.

Supply Chain
The wine industry consumes vast quantities of bottle glass. Bottling plants run to precise timeframes, requiring the pinpoint supply of bottles to meet 24/5 bottling needs. CEL, in partnership with Port Nelson, provide the QuayConnect service. QuayConnect’s unique storage and transport model reduces per unit costs of moving both inputs and outputs – from empty bottles to finished, packaged wines. QuayConnect saves winemakers money, while delivering award-winning sustainability results like reduced truck movements, road hours, fuel consumption, and carbon outputs.
