The company said the investment at its facility in the Chinese capital had boosted its production capacity in the country to 40bn packs. Tetra Pak will have four production sites in China, once its facility in Inner Mongolia is completed next year.


“Tetra Pak is now well positioned to provide better and faster services to our customers in China,” said Nils Bjorkman, executive vice president of Tetra Pak.


The company’s presence in China has rapidly expanded over the last decade with the boom in milk consumption.
