Tetra Pak opens Middle Eastern factory
18 March 2011: Tetra Pak has opened a new Euro 92 million (approx Rs 573.16 crore) packaging factory at Lahore in Pakistan to serve the juice and dairy market in the country.
The new factory in Lahore is spread over 1,50,000 mtrs and has an initial production capacity to produce eight billion packages. It has built the site in anticipation of the need to expand production to meet future demand; production capacity can potentially be doubled to 16 billion packages.
The factory will focus on the domestic Pakistani market but it will also export to neighbouring countries in the Middle East. Initially Tetra Brik Aseptic, Tetra Fino Aseptic and Tetra Classic Aseptic will be produced there but Tetra Pak said the factory has the facilities to produce “many new products”.
