Tetra Pak, leading processing and packaging line and solutions provider for liquid food manufacturing, plans to invest in €30 million in capacity expansion in Beijing. The investment will double production capacity from 8 billion packages to 16 billion packages in order to meet growing demand in the Chinese dairy market. The Beijing plant will become a world showcase for the production of packaging materials specifically designed for use in the Tetra Brik Aseptic® and Tetra Fino Aseptic® Filling Systems.
The Chinese dairy industry, growing at an average growth rate of 26% from 1993 to 2004 is projected to continue to grow at an average rate of around 15% for the next 5 years.
