Tetra Pak, Switzerland, this week reported the startup of its second production line in the company's Hohhot, China, packaging material plant. The new world-class line will increase production capacity at the plant by 10 billion cartons per year to a total of 20 billion cartons per year.
China's booming economy, rising middle-class, and the trend toward urbanization puts it on track to become one of the fastest growing markets for liquid dairy consumption globally. According to Tetra Pak's 2011 Dairy Index, China's demand for liquid dairy products will surge by 40%, from 25 billion liters in 2009 to 35 billion liters in 2013.
"Tetra Pak's Hohhot converting plant has become one of the most technologically advanced and productive Tetra Pak production facilities both in China and globally," said Tetra Pak China President Steve Yin. "By investing at Hohhot, we aim to deliver maximum value as customers seek to identify and respond to new liquid dairy opportunities in this booming market."
In March 2011, the Hohhot converting plant won the TPM "Excellence Award" after having been in operation for less than two years, creating a record for Tetra Pak in World Class Manufacturing. The plant was also named "2011 Best Plant" by Tetra Pak Global for outstanding performance.
