Tetra Pak, Lausanne, Switzerland, marking its fortieth year of operations in Turkey, has inaugurated a new laminator at its packaging material factory in Izmir, Turkey. The VT laminator will increase production capacity by 20%, delivering innovative packages with shorter lead time to customers in the Turkey and Caucasus, and enabling export to the region.

The new laminator, which begins production in January 2013, will boost production capacity from 5 billion packs to approximately 6 billion. It is capable of laminating all types and sizes of Tetra Pak packages.

Tetra Pak Turkey & Caucasus Managing Director Francis Goodenday said that "in an increasingly competitive world, Tetra Pak recognizes the need to offer our customers the very best products, technology, and service. This investment will enable us to meet our customers' needs in a continuously growing, dynamic market by providing them with faster lead times, innovative packages, and all the advantages of local supply and support."
