Tetra Pak announces new Bt890m manufacturing facility in Rayong
Tetra Pak has announced a 24-million-euro (Bt890 million) investment in its first plant for packaging closures in Rayong province.
The facility is aimed at cashing in on the region’s demand for packaging with closures, which has been forecast to grow by more than 30 per cent between 2015 and 2018.
The regional manufacturing facility will be located within the company’s existing straws and strips plant in Rayong, and will become operational early next year.
With a production capacity of more than 3 billion units per year, the new plant will enable customers across the region to access locally produced packaging closures for the first time.
“Consumers in our region are increasingly looking for packaging that is functional and convenient, in order to suit their progressively busy lifestyles,” said Michael Zacka, regional vice president of Tetra Pak for South Asia, East Asia and Oceania.
