Our history

20 years of gourmet expertise.

Since its creation, Newrest’s mission has been to reinvent catering and related services. Born of an entrepreneurial project, the group quickly became a human and collective adventure, driven by the passion and commitment of its teams.

Today, with the same boldness and determination to innovate, Newrest continues to grow while remaining true to its founding values. More than a group, it embodies a true family, shaped by trust, collaboration and a shared vision of the future.
