A pioneer and world leading food processing and packaging solutions company. Working closely with our customers and suppliers, we provide safe, innovative and environmentally sound products that each day meet the needs of hundreds of millions of people in more than 160 countries.

Pioneering how food and drink is processed and packaged

You might be wondering where our name, Tetra Pak, comes from. In 1952, our founder, Dr. Ruben Rausing started the company having created an alternative to the heavy glass bottles used for packaging and distributing milk. Like all real disruptors, he believed there was a better way to do this – and he was right.

Together with the Swedish engineer, Erik Wallenberg, he developed a tetrahedron-shaped paper packaging carton, inspiring the name of the company and marking the start of our ground-breaking contribution to the safe distribution of food around the world.

Since day one, we have been rooted in our determination to help make food safe and available, everywhere. And in believing we can always ﬁnd a better way of doing things – something that has been, and continues to be, the driving force behind our innovations and our company.

Why we exist

We commit to making food safe and available, everywhere and we promise to protect what’s good: food, people and the planet. It drives everything we do and underpins all of our decisions.

Developing new solutions to protect what’s good

We have been driven by a sense of purpose from the start. We pioneered the aseptic technology that made it possible to expand access to safe food, without refrigeration, and have continued to innovate ever since.
