Tetra Pak

Tetra Pak is a multinational company of Swedish origin, a well-known manufacturer of packaging and equipment for the food industry.

Activity

Tetra Pak is the world's largest supplier of cardboard packaging for liquid products. The company also produces packaging and food equipment.

It is interesting that despite the widespread use of the name "Tetra Pak" in everyday life to refer to cardboard packaging, the Swedish company does not have such a brand - products are produced under the brands Tetra Classic, Tetra Wedge Aseptic, Tetra Rex, Tetra Top, Tetra Brik Aseptic and Tetra Brik. The company even launched a marketing campaign called "Tetra Pak is a company, not a package" ("Tetra Pak is a company, not a package") to get rid of this stereotype.
