Tetra Pak, Switzerland, this week inaugurated its new packaging material factory in Finland. The factory, located in the town of Imatra, with a planned capacity of 500 million packages per year, will expand Tetra Pak's gable top capacity for Northern Europe.
The laminated paperboard used to produce the packaging material comes from the Imatra paper mills only six km from the location of the new factory. The short distance helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions for the transportation of paperboard to the factory.
The new factory's production facilities are expected to be ISO 14001 certified during Quarter 1 of 2013, and plans are underway to implement World Class Manufacturing (WCM) practices at the plant. ISO 14001 is an environmental management system standard, and WCM is a tool to help drive and visualize improvements in various areas, including cost, efficiency, competence, maintenance, availability, quality, safety, and environment.
