Tetra Pak is investing £40m (€60m) in a state-of-the-art packaging material plant in Hohhot, China, to serve the country’s growing dairy and beverage industry.

The site’s capacity is expected to reach eight billion packages per year, including Tetra Brik Aseptic and Tetra Fino Aseptic packs. Production is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Tetra Pak China managing director Hudson Lee said: “This factory will primarily serve our customers in the north, freeing up capacity in our southern factories for customers in adjacent regions.”

Tetra Pak has invested over £170m in China and has sites at Kunshan, Foshan and Beijing.
