VIETNAM – Tetra Pak, a world-leading food packaging solutions company, has launched its second aseptic carton packaging material production line at its Binh Duong facility in Vietnam, with an investment of €97 million.

This expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to innovation-led growth across the Asia Pacific region, enhancing its ability to support food and beverage (F&B) producers with high-quality and sustainable packaging solutions tailored to evolving consumer needs with a faster time to market.

The additional line completes the factory’s expansion and positions the Binh Duong site as one of the region’s most advanced facilities for aseptic carton packaging materials.

It doubles the plant’s production capacity and adds the capability to produce 15 additional packaging formats. This enables Tetra Pak to better serve customers in Vietnam and key regional markets, including Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand.

Adolfo Orive, President & CEO of Tetra Pak, said, “This is a commitment to the customers and communities we serve in Vietnam and across Asia Pacific. By expanding our capabilities at Binh Duong, we’re helping food producers meet the needs of modern consumers with new, innovative and sustainable packaging solutions; while creating jobs, investing in local talent and contributing to the region’s economic growth.”

Asia Pacific remains one of the world’s most dynamic F&B markets, valued at USD 667 billion in 2023 and projected to reach USD 900 billion by 2028.

With consumer demand accelerating, the ability to innovate quickly and scale efficiently is critical. Tetra Pak’s expanded capabilities in Vietnam are designed to help brands bring new products to market faster, with packaging that reflects the latest trends in convenience, health, and environmental responsibility.

Michael Wu, Managing Director of Tetra Pak Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines & Indonesia, stated that customers in Malaysia would benefit from improved access to innovative portfolio solutions and a quicker time-to-market.

He emphasized that Tetra Pak’s strength lies in its collaboration with local brands to identify emerging consumer needs and deliver differentiated packaging formats without compromising quality.

He also noted that by expanding their portfolio of sustainable and innovative offerings, the company supports customers in gaining a competitive edge and advancing their innovation efforts.

“This expansion is a proud milestone for Tetra Pak and a reflection of our long-term commitment to the region’s sustainable growth. We are not just investing in infrastructure—we are investing in innovation, sustainability, quality and the future of food for the benefit of the consumers,” stated Wu.
