Innovation helps drive growth at Tetra Pak

Strong sales in fast-growing markets such as China, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East helped Tetra Pak increase sales by more than 5% in 2006, to Euro8,533M

Tetra Pak built on the continued demand for the world's most popular carton package, the Tetra Brik Aseptic, as well as other favourites such as the Tetra Classic Aseptic, Tetra Fino Aseptic and Tetra Prisma Aseptic.

New packages, such as the Tetra Gemina Aseptic as well as increased packaging line performance were also announced in 2006.

Said Tetra Pak President and CEO Dennis Jonsson: "Our focus on developing innovative solutions and new products in partnership with customers to meet changing consumer demands and requirements has been key to our continued growth".

As a result, a total of nearly 130 billion individual Tetra Pak packages were used by the leading food companies in the world in 2006, containing over 67 billion litres of products - that's enough liquid to fill 27,000 Olympic sized swimming pools.

During the year the company delivered an additional 664 packaging machines to customers, bringing the total to 8,793.

The number of processing units in operation reached 25,950, with a further 2,137 being added.

Employing over 20,000 people, and covering more than 165 countries worldwide, Tetra Pak has some 68 sales offices and 48 service centres.

To ensure continuing excellence in customer service and product innovation, the company operates 17 technical training centres and 12 research and development facilities.
