Tetra Pak<\/a>, a pioneer and world leading food processing and packaging solutions company, marks the official 40th anniversary of the company\u2019s Denton, Texas, facility this year. The plant was Tetra Pak\u2019s first in the United States, and today the 263,844-square-foot site includes a Global Information Technology hub, a Product Development Center, a Technical Training Center, a warehouse, a packaging material production factory and office space. \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cFor 40 years, our team in Denton has been helping Tetra Pak realize its vision to make food safe and available, everywhere. We work to do that sustainably<\/a>, \ufb01nding new ways, with new collaborations, to help deliver the innovative solutions our customers need to succeed. In this way, we help enable communities and the planet to \ufb02ourish,\u201d said Seth Teply, president and CEO, Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n The Denton site, roughly 40 miles north of Dallas, serves as headquarters for Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada and consists of approximately 725 team members, each of whom contribute to a rich and diverse workplace culture. Employing 80 people at the time of opening, six still work at Tetra Pak today: John Altavilla, Danny Cochran, Julie Hines, Dale Litchfield, Robert Mohair and Mike Otto. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis year\u2019s milestone celebrates four decades of pioneering innovation, remarkable growth and an unwavering commitment to sustainability in our market,\u201d Teply said. \u201cAnd this is just the beginning. Our journey has only just begun, with much more to achieve ahead.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n Built in 1984, the Denton factory is currently undergoing an expansion project that will enable the factory to produce over 10 billion packages annually. As this growth continues, it will enable Tetra Pak to meet future customers\u2019 needs, which will continue to bring new manufacturing jobs to the facility. In 2024, the Denton site is on track to produce an estimated 6.8 billion food packages.\u00a0<\/p>\n Earlier this year, the facility completed an expansion of its Technical Training Center, adding new equipment and resources to enhance hands-on training and workforce development opportunities for customers and employees.\u00a0<\/p>\n As part of Tetra Pak\u2019s long-standing promise to protect what\u2019s good \u2014 food, people and the planet, its Denton facility produces shelf-stable packaging that allows dairy products<\/a>, nutritional products, juice, broth and more to stay safe and delicious for long periods of time without additives, preservatives or refrigeration before opening. This process reduces food waste as products can be stored unopened at room temperature until they\u2019re ready to be consumed.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWith more than 70 years as a global company in the food and beverage space, we understand the impact packaging has on the environment and we work to lessen that impact every day,\u201d Teply said. \u201cAs we look to the future, we have a growing global population that needs access to safe and nutritious food, and Tetra Pak will continue to lead the way toward developing secure, resilient and sustainable global food systems.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\nCreating a Legacy\u00a0<\/h4>\n
