Since its founding in 1987, Tetra Pak, the world leader in food processing and packaging solutions, has revolutionized India. Tetra Pak has previously shown a strong commitment to local production, innovation, and sustainability in the Indian market long before the “Make in India” movement gained traction
Tetra Pak’s modern production plant in Chakan, Pune, is evidence of the business’s enduring dedication to India. With more than 1,500 employees, it is the biggest and most sophisticated Tetra Pak facility outside of Sweden. In addition to producing more than 85 per cent of the equipment sold in India, this plant acts as a center for international exports, training, and research. Remarkably, the plant sources 75% of its ingredients locally, supporting the domestic supply chain.
Over 300 micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) have joined the company as suppliers in the previous three years, demonstrating its commitment to local procurement. These partnerships further strengthen India’s manufacturing ecosystem by providing training and assistance to reach international standards.
The influence of Tetra Pak extends well beyond the boundaries of India. The Pune facility demonstrates India’s potential as a worldwide center for manufacturing and innovation by exporting food processing equipment to more than 50 countries.
