The new investment is expected to increase the factory's annual output from the current 11.5 billion carton packages to 16.5 billion carton packages, meeting the growing demand for sterilized carton packages in the country and region. In addition, the factory will be equipped with more equipment to produce high-grade carton packages to replace imported goods.
The upgrade investment also includes the installation of 2,300 solar panels on the roof of the factory. This is an effort to completely eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from the entire factory operation by 2030.
Mr. Eliseo Barcas - General Director of Tetra Pak Vietnam said: "This additional investment of 5 million euros demonstrates our belief in the strong recovery of the Vietnamese economy after the pandemic. It will help us better serve our customers as capacity increases, offer more attractive carton packages, while minimizing environmental impact."

All essential living services such as air conditioning, food, hygiene, medical assistance, gym, sports and entertainment facilities have been arranged and fully equipped by Tetra Pak Binh Duong to ensure the health, mental and physical health for about 260 employees of the factory.
