Established in 1951, Sweden-based Tetra Pak made its name by introducing hygienic brick-shaped tetrahedral paper packages for use in milk distribution to the mass market. It was a pioneer in the use of this fledgling technology and has since become a global player.

In 2008, Tetra Pak achieved a net sales revenue of 8.83 billion euros and provided the world consumers with 70.5 billion liters of liquid food products. Tetra Pak has been firm in its belief in its ability to grow its customer base, whilst leading the market in its bid to safeguard food security and hygiene standards. The company has continuously introduced advanced equipment and services into China.

To date, Tetra Pak's total investment in the Chinese market has reached 2.7 billion yuan. Its production capacity has now reached 40 billion units per year.

China is a very important market for the company and it is particularly committed to the development of its facilities in Beijing. It initially opted to establish a presence in BDA due to its perception of the quality of environment and the excellent support for businesses.

In August 2004, it invested more than 600 million yuan in its Beijing plant, giving it a capacity to produce 8 billion packs per year. Throughout this time, the company received excellent supports from BDA authorities, a major factor in its rapid development. Tetra Pak then invested an additional 300 million yuan in the further expansion of its plant in Beijing over the next two years. This doubled its production capability to 16 billion packs per year.

The Beijing plant is now Tetra Pak's largest single production base. In February 2007, Tetra Pak established an advanced design center in Beijing, a testament to its belief in BDA’s high-quality services.

Tetra Pak's founder Ruben Rausing has one corporate motto - "a package should save more than it costs". In keeping with this philosophy, the company has long abided by the "4R Principles" — renewing, reducing, recycling and responsibility.

From raw material to product design, from production to recycling, all of its activities are based on the concept of environmental protection, an essential element in successes. BDA, alongside a number of other enterprises in the area, have all demonstrated a keen awareness of eco-friendly issues.

I come from Russia and have been working in Beijing for nearly two years. I would like to say I love BDA. I genuinely appreciate its environment and infrastructure. I would number it among the best industrial parks I have ever seen.

BDA's hi-tech designs make it hard for you to believe that you are actually in an industrial park. Additionally, its convenient transportation facilities and an ideal location make it easily accessible to both downtown Beijing and the capital airport.

Without the full supports of BDA, Tetra Pak (Beijing) could never have made so many achievements. If such an enterprise can be compared to milk packaging, I believe BDA resembles nothing so much as a Tetra Pak for milk - as it provides all-around protection, support and servicing. Let us take off together with BDA!
