Tetra Pak to invest €15 million in Italian test & assambly plant, R&D facilities in Modena

Plant and office upgrade over the next two years marks the latest in a series of worldwide investments

Tetra Pak today announced it will invest €15 million in its research and development, test and assembly facility in Modena, Italy. This investment will provide new office space for 80 staff and expand test facilities.

“The continued expansion of Tetra Pak’s activities in Modena reflects our focus on cost-driven innovation which deliver solutions that support our customers business," said Ivano Selmi, Vice President of Tetra Pak Packaging Solutions S.p.A. and Managing Director for the Modena site.

Tetra Pak has invested over €25 million in Modena over the last five years, underlining the company’s ongoing commitment both to the plant and the region. The new office space will provide work stations for 80 people, including 50 new jobs across disciplines such as development and engineering, marketing and supply chain.

The Modena site was established in 1979 as the first site outside of Lund in Sweden to assemble Tetra Pak's world-leading aseptic packaging systems. From an initial staff of 30 focussed on the assembly of filling machines, the team has grown as activity expanded to include research and development as well as testing and assembly of ambient carton packaging systems. Today the site also houses a worldwide Research and Development Centre, a worldwide marketing and product management team and global development as well as test and assembly of Tetra Pak A3 platforms.
