Tetra Pak is a multinational food processing and packaging company of Swedish origin. It was founded in 1951 in Lund, Sweden, by Ruben Rausing and Erik Åkerlund. It was Erik Wallenberg who invented the tetrahedral package, today known as Tetra Classic. The company is part of the Tetra Laval group which also includes Sidel – who specialise in PET bottles – and DeLaval, a producer of dairy farming machinery and food processing equipment.Tetra Pak's innovation is in the area of aseptic processing liquid food packaging which, when combined with ultra-high-temperature processing (UHT), allows liquid food to be packaged and stored under room temperature conditions for up to a year. This allows for perishable goods to be saved and distributed over greater distances without the need for a cold chain.
Business and competition
Tetra Pak in Lund, Sweden
Until recently the company held a monopoly in China, but in mid-2000, the Tetra Pak monopoly was broken. An alternative supplier called Greatview Aseptic Packaging headquartered in Beijing with its 18 billion packs annual capacity, will deliver close to 12 billion packs in 2011. Greatview sells under the trade name Tralin Pak, and had an estimated 9.6% market share by volume in China in 2009. Other companies producing comparable but different aseptic beverage carton packagings system are SIG with its proprietary Combibloc technology and Elopak with Pure-Pak. Milliken manufactures a similar packaging system in the United States. Tetra Pak was the largest packaging company in the world, until Amcor's acquisition of Alcan.
Raw materials
To produce packaging materials, Tetra Pak uses paperboard (73%), plastic (22%) and – for aseptic packages - aluminium foil (5%). Raw materials production has the greatest environmental impact of all stages within the package life cycle.
The paperboard is made from wood - a renewable resource. To secure responsible forestry, Tetra Pak works with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). In 2009, Tetra Pak delivered more than 2.3 billion FSC certified and labelled cartons. The paperboard provides stiffness and stability to the package.
The plastic (polyethylene) is used in layers on both sides of the paper structure to protect the package from inside and outside moisture.
Cartons designed for long life or high acidity content contain aluminium foil, which is about 6-micrometre (0.00024 in) thin. This layer provides additional protection for the content against oxygen, bacteria, undesired flavours and light.
