Swedish Ambassador visits Tetra Pak Saudi Arabia and celebrates factory's success

The Ambassador with members of the Swedish Businessmen's Group toured the Tetra Pak Saudi Arabia factory south of Jeddah, which ranks among the top 5 most productive Tetra Pak factories in the world.

The factory, which produced a record 400 million packages in March, ensures that all the aseptic packaging needs of the Middle East region are met, with orders from the GCC and beyond now processed in Jeddah before being shipped to liquid food producers for processing.

The group, accompanied by Commercial Director Peder Berggren, was shown some of the highlights of the Tetra Pak facility, including the converting factory, where some of the household names in the Saudi dairy industry - including Sadafco, Al-Safi, and NADEC - have their product packages manufactured and printed.

Peder Berggren said on the occasion that he was delighted that Jeddah was now a major focus for the Middle East beverage and food industry. "This is the second year of full scale operations," he added. "The facility has undergone significant growth, and the most recent addition is the opening of a new straw factory ensuring that a complete solution is provided to beverage and food producers, whether in Saudi Arabia, the GCC, or beyond."
