Tetra Pak Magazine 1, 1956.

Every company needs a customer magazine to make itself well-known–and to remain so.

This was already his firm conviction, when Dr Ruben Rausing founded Tetra Pak.

An idea becomes realityBy means of a minimum of raw

materials a hygienic, economical and

easily transportable food package

for milk was created and it could be

used anywhere in the world.

Page 5: TP Magazine No 100

Our company was founded 60 years ago on the idea to rationalise the distribu-

tion of foods by way of consumer packages adapted to their purposes and by

proper transport packing. In order to establish a good brand name and spread

information about the company, it was decided to introduce a customer magazine

that would impress the readers and that was both international and exclusive.

Today we can proudly say that this idea has been realized and the company

has fulfilled a function in the social fabric. The progress has been achieved with

the support and confidence of our customers and our highly efficient partners

throughout the years, as well as the efforts and assistance of all our employees,

suppliers and many others who work on Tetra Pak’s behalf all over the world.

The first issue of the customer magazine, Tetra Pak Magazine, appeared in 1956.

With this 100th edition we want to demonstrate how we carry out our respon-

sibilities and will continue to earn the trust that we have received, also in the

future.

Tetra Pak’s motto,

PROTECTS WHAT’S GOOD, ex-

presses the fundamental philosophy

of how we conduct our business.

This is an extension of the company’s

vision: to make food safe and avail-

able everywhere, and is the guiding

principle of the way that we work

throughout the food chain.

Although this motto was not offi-

cially adopted until 2003, PROTECTS

WHAT’S GOOD has been our policy

right from the start. Dr Ruben Raus-

ing founded Tetra Pak out of a strong

desire to create something new.

His philosophy was by means of a

minimum of raw materials to create

a hygienic, economical and safe milk

package that could be used any-

where in the world.

Since then his basic idea has under-

gone continual development and

now incorporates a wide variety of

innovations in the areas of process-

ing, packaging and distribution.

However the goal is still the same:

to protect food hygienically, pre-

serve its nutritional value, and make

it available everywhere for long

periods of time.

Tetra Pak produces processing and packaging equipment for food. Furthermore, we also protect the food and, at the same time, do our best to preserve the environment.

From cow to consumer

Tetra Pak’s sister company within the Tetra Laval

Group, DeLaval has long experience in the fields

of dairy farming, milk production and milk supply.

Together with Tetra Pak’s expertise in dairy

product processing, packaging, food safety and

distribution, we cover the entire supply chain–

from cow to consumer.

Page 9: TP Magazine No 100

The most important–and most obvious–requirement

where food is concerned is that it should taste good and

be safe to eat. Guaranteeing this and making sure that a

product’s quality and nutritional content are maintained

requires processing equipment that carefully applies

heat treatment in accordance with the specific require-

ments of each food. Milk, which has a low acidity level, is

more sensitive to harmful bacteria and spores than, for

example, fruit juices. Their acidity level is high, so these

products need different processing methods.

In the processing equipment supplied by Tetra Pak each

individual component has been designed to eliminate all

harmful micro-organisms. In the three categories dairy,

beverage and prepared food we have specially selected

lines, modules and components which take care of and

protect our customers’ products throughout their lifecy-

cle, whether for a short or a long period, without the use

of preservatives.

In accordance with our motto PROTECTS WHAT’S GOOD each product is treated according to specific require-ments to ensure that its quality and nutritional value are maintained.

The function of packagingThe main purpose of a food package is to protect its con-

tents and to ensure that after processing and packaging,

no product change takes place during its transport to the

store. Light, for example, can affect the colour, vitamins

and taste of food and reduce its lifespan. Depending on

storage temperature and the shelf-life required, packag-

ing has different barrier properties.

Processing and packaging is constantly faced with new

challenges to satisfy both old and new requirements as

regards shelf-life, convenience, handling, environmental

impact, etc. These requirements will not be reduced in

the future and increasingly sophisticated types of prod-

ucts and packaging will instead be taken for granted.

To protect the food, it must first be protected

7

Page 10: TP Magazine No 100

When we at Tetra Pak say PROTECTS WHAT’S GOOD we not only mean that we protect the high quality con-tents in our packaging, we see our role as much more. Our motto covers the whole of the supply chain: from suppliers to custom-ers, distribution, employees, consumers and society itself.

SuppliersOur partners are suppliers who are innovative and, like us,

committed to sustainable ways of doing business.

CustomersBy constantly focusing on development and investing in

a wide range of innovative solutions, we want to cultivate

long-term relationships with our customers. We try our

best to earn respect through our extensive knowledge of

the food industry, from processing to consumption.

Safe food and drink–two of the most important things on earth

Safe, nutritious food is a human right, a vital consumer concern and a survival issue of global dimensions

When we talk about safe food, most

people think of hygiene, bacteria

and additives. But safe food is also

food for everyone, meaning the

right to have enough to eat. The

reason this fails to be achieved is

due to such matters as climate-

related harvest failure and economic

mismanagement of the world’s food

stocks resulting from poor harvest-

ing methods, packaging and distri-

bution techniques, trade restrictions

and urbanisation. People moving

into cities means that increasing

amounts of food have to be trans-

ported over long distances for long

periods of time, which is why distri-

bution and packaging technology

play a large and important role.

Safe food and drink means versatile,

nourishing food that contains the

body’s essential nutritional require-

ments. Also, food in correct propor-

tions is what gives good health. Safe

food and drink contain no unwanted

bacteria, chemicals or other unsafe

ingredients. Safe food is well-

cooked and freshly made.

Food poisoning globallyGlobalization of food production

and trade increases the potential

risks of food poisoning. Outbreaks

that before took place in a small

community may now have inter-

national dimensions and repercus-

sions. Food-borne diseases are

widespread and a growing health

problem. The World Health Organ-

isation (WHO) estimates that one

third of the earth’s population are

affected by these every year, lead-

ing to high mortality rates. Many

deaths are caused by unsafe water,

especially among children in the

Third World. In industrial countries

too–USA for example–some 76 mil-

lion people fall ill every year from

unsafe food and drink, resulting in

an average of 325,000 hospital visits

and 5,000 deaths (source: WHO).

Contaminated food is a massive

social and economic burden in every

society and governments around the

world have come together to ensure

food safety at an international level.

The human factorThe most common reason for

becoming seriously ill from food or

drink is due to bad handling, so that

disease-generating micro-organisms

are able to multiply and cause stom-

ach upset. Poor knowledge of hy-

gienic practices, wrong temperature

and inadequate hand hygiene are

the principal causes. Most food poi-

soning occurs in the home or when

eating out. Therefore, consumers

should keep themselves informed as

much as possible about the prod-

ucts they buy and how these should

be stored and prepared.

The responsibility is shared by all involvedEveryone in the food supply chain

is responsible for ensuring that only

safe products are put on the market;

the producer of raw material, the

product manufacturer, the packag-

ing manufacturer, the persons re-

sponsible for storage and transport,

and the retailer.

”The aim of food safety is to en-

sure that food is safe when it is

consumed.” This is the definition

of food safety given in ISO 22000,

which is accepted by most food-

related industries in more than 40

countries. By having a certified

management system a company can

build up trust in its brands, products

and services.

12

Page 15: TP Magazine No 100

Traceability is all about trustThe more urbanised and global we

become, the more food is trans-

ported, especially from one country

to another. Society’s demand for

traceability is therefore increasing.

In general this means that it must be

possible to trace the raw materials

and ingredients used by a manufac-

turer back to the supplier, and the

products manufactured should be

able to be followed forward to the

consumer. This can be both prob-

lematic and expensive if the supply

chain is long, but it is nevertheless

vital in order to deal with the po-

tential risks present in a food, to pre-

vent product tampering and interfer-

ence where food is concerned and

to enable products to be recalled

quickly if something goes wrong.

Traceability is receiving increasing

priority from consumers and espe-

cially leading food manufacturers

and retail chains take this very ser-

iously, since it is crucial to their repu-

tations and therefore their sales. A

well-designed traceability system

increases consumer confidence and

can be invaluable, since it reduces

considerably the cost of recalling an

unsafe product.

A consumer product that can be traced back to the place of production, benefits everyone in the entire value chain.

The overall aim should be to

take a comprehensive view,

following the principle of from

farm to table.

For thousands of years people have conducted a battle

against those micro-organisms, which tend to multiply

in food and destroy it and in the worst case become a

health risk. Pasteurisation kills the bacteria in food that

causes illness, but it is considerably more difficult to kill

heat-resistant spores that can be formed by certain bac-

teria. In these circumstances one or more separate stages

of heat treatment are needed.

With a short heat treatment at a high temperature all

micro-organisms are rendered harmless and a subse-

quent rapid cooling means that nutritional quality and

taste are affected less than with other heating processes.

A product free from micro-organisms that could start

growing must be filled into a sterile package in a micro-

biologically clean environment. Then no preservatives will

be required and the product can become non-perishable

for a long time, and without the need for refrigerated

storage.

This is aseptic processing and packaging technology–

two integrated lines of defence that work together to

make sure wholesome food remains safe. This solution

has great benefit to society since it means that people

everywhere, whatever their culture and climate, can have

access to nutritious food whenever they like.

We use technology to preserve food –not preservatives.

The future will be dependent on aseptic packaging

solutions that can preserve food without a cold

chain and over a long period of time. When most of

the earth’s population live in cities, far from farming

areas and milk production, this will be a supply

condition, especially in the Third World.

Most companies are very conscious of the value of creat-

ing good, long-term customer relations. Some customer

relations are built on a close association between two

companies known as business-to-business (B2B) where

loyalty is often based on personal, informal contacts.

Instead of viewing each other as supplier and customer,

companies see each other as collaborators or partners.

Within the relationship they exchange information and,

for example, develop new business or products together.

Quality incorporates feelings In the tough, competitive environment that is the result of

globalisation and with products and services becoming

more similar, it is important to differentiate your product

from the competitors’ who are active in the same market.

Often the crucial factor is quality, especially regarding

the treatment of customers’ needs or problems. It’s not

enough to have high quality products, cutting edge tech-

nology and performance: emotional business, incorporat-

ing values that have to do with feelings, admiration and

preferences, is as important and needs to be continually

cultivated. Part of this includes being aware of what is

happening in the market, visiting customers, listening to

them and obtaining reports on problems or complaints–

and dealing with these quickly. Other ways of developing

new customer relationships and attending to existing

ones are by setting up meetings, events and exhibitions.

For everyday interaction, email, the Internet and social

media, etc. can be valuable, but personal contact is still

the most important method of communication. In the

future the human dimension will be even more important,

as in a business relationship it is individual and unique

and cannot therefore be copied.

Listen to your customers and exceed their expectationsSatisfied customers are crucial to a business and for every company’s success.

Every customer has their own specific needs and

expectations, and as a supplier one must listen

carefully and live up to these–always! Satisfied

customers, together with contented staff, are a

company’s most valuable asset.

The areas considered most important

by the majority of customers in the

processing and packaging industry

are innovation, system performance

capabilities, technical service and key

account management. In a global

perspective, key account manage-

ment is seen as the most important,

but in many developing countries, for

example China, innovation ranks high-

est. Therefore a company must always

adapt to the requirements of markets

and customers when formulating new

development projects and make im-

provements in both major and minor

aspects.

The best thing a supplier can do for

its customers is to protect their invest-

ments and show that it cares about

them. With good customer relations

you can put individual solutions

and services into practice which will

enhance customers’ market presence

and reinforce their brands. If you can

also inspire customers to see new

opportunities for their products and

businesses and show them new ways

to go, this makes them feel comfort-

able and secure in the relationship and

encourages them to keep returning.

He who is unable to laugh should not start his own company – old Chinese saying that says a great deal about how to succeed in business.

Dairy Hubs–for community developmentTetra Pak has many years of extensive experience in the

dairy business, which can be of support to developing

countries in order to achieve a sustainable dairy value

chain. In Pakistan, for example, Tetra Pak and its custom-

ers Engro Foods Limited, Nestlé Pakistan and Haleeb

Foods Limited have worked together to set up Dairy

Hubs in order to improve milk production and increase

employment and income for dairy farmers. Furthermore,

they provide expertise to contribute to the supply of

sufficient milk for domestic consumption. Through Dairy

Hubs many smallholder farmers can be organised and

get access to large scale farmers’ benefits like milking

machines, animal feed, veterinary medicines and services,

etc. A Dairy Hub provides education and training and as-

sists the farmers in marketing their product commercially.

During 2010, 350 training courses have been conducted

among 35,000 farmers, including female farmers. The

yield per animal has increased by 20 per cent.

The value of a company only increases if it adds value to others.

Growing with CustomersKeeping to the philosophy of grow-

ing together with customers, Tetra

Pak China has as a long-standing

goal to explore various ways of

providing customers with all-around

solutions so as to optimize their op-

erational cost.

The customer relations with China

Mengniu Dairy Co Ltd, that started

twelve years ago, have among other

things led to the joint effort of re-

ducing cost and improving efficien-

cy in each aspect of their operation.

After field studies of the production

line, both parties agreed to launch

the Operational Cost Reduction

programme, OCR. This programme

is based on World Class Manufactur-

ing (WCM), the most advanced and

most comprehensive production

management method in the global

manufacturing industry. Tetra Pak

China offered specialized consulta-

tion on technologies used by the

programme and provided training

for employees. After implementa-

tion, it was found that one single

production line could save ten per

cent on operational cost. The gener-

al manager of Mengniu Liquid Milk

said: “OCR is an excellent tool for

factory operation optimization and

we should apply the OCR method

and tools in our daily work”.

A sustainable planet for future generations

A growing number of people ac-

cept the challenge to make sure our

planet’s ecosystem can continue to

supply humanity with food, fresh

water, raw materials and fuel–every-

thing that forms the basis of a good

economy and creates development

and social justice.

If it is good for the environment, it is also good for the companyThe driving force behind a busi-

ness is to encourage growth and

minimise costs, but you may also

observe an increasing ambition to

guarantee sustainable production

with as little impact on the environ-

ment as possible. Value is being

placed on good environmental per-

formance and it has become a pow-

erful tool commercially and com-

petitively. Trustworthy environmental

engagement must be reflected

not only in a company’s operations

but throughout the manufacturing

and consumption chain, from raw

materials to consumer. This requires

collaboration with other parties in

the chain–producers, suppliers, cus-

tomers and distributors–in order to

minimise the overall environmental

impact.

Within the EU, retailers and food

manufacturers are encouraged to

act as gatekeepers to sustainable

consumption and the greening of

supply chains.

Tetra Pak chooses to work with renewable

materials since these can be used and

Wood, a renewable raw material Long-term management plans and

forestry certification are important

methods of improving and control-

ling the state of the world’s forests.

Sustainable forestry maintains the pro-

duction capability of the forests and

protects the natural environments. A

forest is a renewable resource which

will last forever if well looked after.

The FSC™ (Forest Stewardship

Council™) is an independent, inter-

national organisation supported by

WWF and Greenpeace which pro-

motes responsible use of the world’s

forests. Companies who choose to

certify and label their products ac-

cording to an FSC standard under-

stand that responsible forestry will

meet the financial, ecological and

social needs of both present and fu-

ture generations. The FSC stamp on

milk packaging guarantees that the

wood fibres used in its material are

derived from sources with the most

credible certification system for for-

estry or other controlled origins. The

FCS stamp also enables consumers

to make an active choice for the en-

vironment and they are supporting

responsible forestry by buying FSC

certified products.

Tetra Pak launched its first FSC-

labelled packaging, Tetra Recart,

in 2007. Three years later over 8.5

billion FSC-labelled Tetra Pak pack-

ages were sold in the world and the

forecast for 2011 will be 16 thousand

million of sold packages (10%).

The long-term goal is 100 per cent,

which today is limited by the avail-

ability of FSC-certified timber.

Under the Green Roof project for Princess

Pa Foundation in Thailand, used cartons are

transformed into roof sheets for people whose

homes have been damaged or destroyed by

natural disasters. Among others Tetra Pak is a

key sponsor of the project.

Cartons are good environmental choicesGood packaging has to protect,

preserve, handle, transport and

present its contents. It must with-

stand heat and cold and be able

to be transported and unloaded

without breaking. It must also take

the environment into consideration

throughout its life. Environmental

studies around the world repeatedly

show that the beverage carton is a

low-carbon choice.

Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a tool

that compares different packages.

The environmental impact of a

product can be evaluated at each

stage in its lifecycle, from the ‘cradle

to the grave’. Although LCAs can

be used to analyse different kinds

of environmental impact, in these

analyses the greenhouse effect is

often considered to be one of soci-

ety’s most important environmental

issues and carton packages perform

well here. Reasons for beverage car-

tons performing well in LCA studies

are that they are primarily based on a

renewable resource–wood from the

forest. Distribution efficiency and low

weight also contributes.

Good packaging protects food efficiently with minimal environmental impact.

Recycling of used cartons is another

efficient way of reducing environmen-

tal impact. The fibres are strong and

very useful as they can be recycled

many times and for different pur-

poses. The other materials in the

carton can also be recycled and as the

development of even more efficient

recycling technologies increases, the

global recycling will continue to grow.

Tetra Pak’s philosophy is that a

package should save more than it

costs. This means that the benefits a

package has for the consumer and

society compensate for the use of

resources and cost it takes to pro-

duce it.

natural products.

The environmental work into the futureEnvironmental efficiency has always

been central to Tetra Pak’s strategy

because it is a critical issue for both

the company’s results and for society

at large. We have always worked to

enhance our environmental perform-

ance, by focusing on resources,

energy and waste efficiency in the

1970s to today’s solutions with focus

on broader and more complex

climate problems. The bar has been

raised and for 2020 we strive to cap

our global greenhouse gas emis-

sions to 2010 levels and to double

the global recycling of used bever-

age containers. Our goal is to grow

without increasing environmental

impact.

Our environmental commitment

is not limited to Tetra Pak’s own

activities but covers the entire value

chain, including raw materials, pro-

duction, filling, transportation, stor-

age, etc. It means that we work with

our suppliers to ensure that their en-

vironmental work is at an acceptable

level and that they make continuous

environmental improvement. It also

means that we inform our custom-

ers about the environmental profile

of our products and services, and

we support them in their efforts to

reduce their environmental impact.

We cooperate with WWF in climate

change and responsible forestry and

work closely with our suppliers and

other stakeholders to increase ac-

cess to FSC-certified wood fibre.

(The FSC licence code for Tetra Pak

is FSC™ C014047).

Page 30: TP Magazine No 100

People are the driving force behind

every company’s growth and suc-

cess. A healthy company environ-

ment looks after the well-being of

staff and conditions in the work-

place. Mutual commitment develops

and motivates people, and helps to

create a professional and respectful

corporate culture today and in the

future. It is clear that people who are

happy at work are more focused and

committed, better at team-working,

have higher motivation levels and

fewer sick leaves and perform better

overall. How employees feel has a

direct influence on a company’s abil-

ity to satisfy its customers. Happy

employees are loyal employees–this

raises productivity, means improved

service value for customers, and

increases customer satisfaction and

customers’ loyalty to the company.

Mean well–do well–feel well All businesses have a responsibility to society and their fellow citizens, which means looking after the relationships between all the participants and encouraging long-term, responsible development socially, ethically and environmentally.

Health and environment are two important

issues for Tetra Pak. As the main sponsor

of Broloppet 2010 in Malmö, Sweden, all

runners were offered water in our packages.

Social responsibility Many companies have adopted a

structural approach to their CSR

(Corporate Social Responsibility)

and an increasing number of man-

agers regard this work as creating

added value. Among the ways of

doing this are raising the company’s,

customers’ and subcontractors’

awareness about environmental

impact, actively promoting staff wel-

fare, donating to charitable causes,

and assuming responsibility with

regard to the company’s business

ethics.

At Tetra Pak we have run our busi-

ness like this for decades–in every-

thing from school milk programmes

to the development of infrastructure

and sustainable environments. The

cornerstones of our social respon-

sibility are: Food for Development,

Global Compact and Sustainable

Environmental Development.

To avoid stress and create harmony,

it should be a balance between work,

relationships and good health.

Food for Development Food for Development is a Tetra Pak network that oper-

ates on development projects primarily in milk production

and school milk programmes. For almost 50 years we have

helped customers, governments and social organisations

to provide milk to children in schools all over the world. Last

year around 50 million schoolchildren received milk and

other nutritious beverages in our packaging. Some 30

million of them live in developing countries where improve-

ments in general health and student achievement are vital

for future development. The absence of certain nutrients in

a child’s diet can cause permanent damage and affect their

mental development. Milk, juice and cereal-based beverag-

es can be even more beneficial if they have been enriched

with the right mixture of vitamins and minerals for a specific

group of children. www.tetrapak.com

Together with our sister company DeLaval we are a full

service supplier to dairy farmers, and uniquely positioned

to support the development of the entire dairy sector in

any country. By also including training of farmers, equip-

ment financing and support for market development with

consumer education activities we help establish a base for

sustainable economic development. www.delaval.com

We also carry out aid programmes all over the world

in response to natural disasters or accidents caused by

man. Through the Tetra Laval Group we have a tradition

of providing packages with water and other liquid food

products or giving financial support. With our global

presence it is likely that either we or our customers are in

place with the logistics and the supply facilities needed

for rapid assistance.

United Nations Global CompactGreat efforts are being made by both the UN and the

OECD to encourage companies and organisations to

undertake more social responsibility. In 1999 the UN

founded its Global Compact as an alliance of companies

that had assumed this responsibility in order that busi-

ness should be part of the solution to the challenges

posed by globalisation. Active responsibility covers ten

internationally recognised principles including human

rights, employment rights, the environment and anti-

corruption. There are now 8,700 companies and other

organisations involved and Tetra Pak has been a member

since 2004. www.unglobalcompact.org

“Milk, sun, remember this is your health!”

Between the ages of 2 and 12, children double their height and weight

and lay down the basic elements of their bodies that will last throughout

their lives. It is therefore vital that they have the right diet during these

years. (Romania)

A reliable source of inspirationOur company publication, Tetra Pak Magazine, bears the influence, as does our company, of Tetra Pak’s founder Dr Ruben Rausing–of his thoughts, ideas and visions.

Early in his life Ruben Rausing had a

great ambition to create something

new. His basic idea was to ration-

alise food distribution by means of

practical consumer packaging and

proper transport packaging, long

before logistics became a buzzword.

He was also convinced that every

company needed a customer

magazine to make itself well-known

and to make sure it remained so.

It was clear right from the start

that Tetra Pak would be aimed at a

world market and it was therefore

important to create a magazine that

could compete in both content and

appearance with the international

publications then produced by

large American, German and British

companies. The magazine would

establish a good brand name for

Tetra Pak and give it prestige. It had

therefore to be exclusive. The year

was 1956 and the magazine became

one of the first modern publications

of its kind.

Interesting content and timeless designFor many years the magazine fol-

lowed Tetra Pak’s development and

progress with regard to new pack-

aging technology, new liquid food

products and new markets. It reflect-

ed the company’s innovation ability

and reported on new areas that had

previously been unexplored, both

technically and geographically. Like

the company, the magazine was at

the forefront with its international

style and graphic design that even

today, when looking at early issues,

feels modern and up to date.

Gradually reports on technical

developments gave way to varied

articles about topics which were

thought to be of interest to Tetra

Pak’s customers as well as other

target groups, such as the media,

politicians, packaging and food

organisations, government bodies

and employees. After a while this

was succeeded by entire issues on

themes related to the food and

packaging industries and to Tetra

Pak’s role in industry and society.

The aim of our Tetra Pak Magazine

is to spread knowledge, ideas and

inspiration by means of relevant and

reliable articles, complemented by

high quality images.

An outstanding coverThe cover of the Tetra Pak Magazine has its own history.

The Swedish artist, illustrator and printmaker C.O. Hultén

(born 1916) was right from the start responsible for the

cover design and the layout of the magazine. For many

decades he produced a series of interesting, emotive and

occasionally surreal covers, through which one can follow

the growth of Tetra Pak as well as Hultén’s own artistic de-

velopment. In the 1990s he was succeeded by a number

of artists from Tetra Pak’s home town of Lund, Sweden,

who put their personal mark on around a dozen covers.

In the 2000s we entered a new era of designed covers,

which relate to a greater extent to the content and theme

of the magazines than occurred during the period when

artists were responsible for their production. For some

time now, the magazine covers have been designed in

accordance with Tetra Pak’s graphic identity.

For long-term relationsA company’s magazine is its spokesperson in the market.

A regular publication is therefore a valuable resource in

forming relationships and maintaining a dialogue with its

target groups, not just now but in the long-term. A reli-

able company magazine increases knowledge about the

company, its history and its brands, and this encourages

loyalty among customers, employees and others who

read it regularly. We hope that the Tetra Pak Magazine

conveys a positive spirit, and that it is interesting and

valuable for our customers as well as our other readers.

Three issues, Nos. 63, 64 and 65

from 1986, were produced as

a trilogy about Tetra Pak. Their

respective themes were Hardware, Research & Development and

Software. The covers were designed

by C.O. Hultén.

The future of a physical magazineEven if paper magazines are not requested as much as before, the

printed customer magazine remains strong. We believe in the power

of images and the visual impression you get from a paper page and

one should not underestimate the physical feeling of holding or flicking

through a publication. Although a printed Tetra Pak Magazine retains its

value also in the future, we follow and appreciate the development of

new electronic media and additional channels like iPads, apps and smart

phones. But basically we feel it is the content and reading experience

that is most important, not the channel.

Page 42: TP Magazine No 100

Innovation–the essence of staying aheadInnovation is the way to survive in an ever more global, competitive business arena and good innovation must offer advantages over previous solutions.

The discovery of a product or

solution is much more than just

the technical breakthrough. Innov-

ation means turning knowledge

into commercial reality–carrying a

brilliant idea all the way through to

a sustainable customer/or consumer

solution. This is a long process and

demands deep insight into what

daily life is like for consumers all

over the world.

Building a cultureThinking about innovation, many

people relate to new technology

that will produce products that are

entirely new, but innovation does

not necessarily take place in labora-

tories and development centres.

Much of it is process innovation,

such as organising the production

in a new way–or market innovation

such as finding a creative way to

get a product onto the market–or

environmental innovation which is

becoming increasingly important.

Innovation should be a natural part

of a company’s everyday activities,

something that everyone thinks

about and participates in.

However, innovation does not come

easily to any company. One method

of encouraging innovative ways

of thinking to spread throughout

a whole organisation is to build a

culture that conveys the feeling of

participation and in which employ-

ees are stimulated and rewarded for

their ideas and contributions to the

company’s growth. At Tetra Pak we

try to cultivate our staff’s knowledge

resources and we have a system for

evaluating every single idea.

Innovation by interactionAn innovation system is made up of

several different parties and activ-

ities, which together encourage the

growth of innovation. For example,

a company might work in collabor-

ation with a customer, a competitor

or a university. Networking plays a

major part in the innovation process,

and when small entrepreneurs work

together with the resources of a

large company this creates a posi-

tive climate for innovation. At Tetra

Pak we benefit from the resources

of local universities and often work

with small companies so that we all

progress together.

If you want to develop something new, you must work and think in a new and unique way.Dr Ruben Rausing in the 1970s.

Don’t forget the green perspectiveSustainable environmental thinking should also apply to

innovation. By sustainable innovation we mean that one

should use new materials, new processes or work routines

that reduce impact on the environment and plan one’s re-

sources so that they will stretch all the way up to the end

result, and use no more resources than one can create. A

green innovation perspective should apply at all levels,

machinery, processing, production, storage, transport,

travel, etc. For example, using the Internet for transport

and travel planning, video conferencing, instructions and

quotations not only saves the environment but gives the

company a forward-looking image.

Those who say that it can’t be done should keep out of the way of those who are already doing it. Chinese proverb

For an idea to be regarded as an innovation

it must both create something new and be

beneficial financially.

Value-driven innovation Companies that early and successfully see their custom-

ers’ requirements and needs are usually more successful in

quickly providing the market with new innovative products

with greater customer value than those of their competitors.

At Tetra Pak we are working on developing products

and solutions that will enable us to offer our customers

efficient and environmentally sustainable production

and handling at low cost. We are focusing on processing

solutions that will provide an added value, for example

reduce product losses and energy consumption and use

fewer chemicals for cleaning purposes, while consuming

as little water as possible. On the packaging side, our

sights are aimed at climate-smart and functional packag-

ing; long term storage, good barrier properties, in-

creased resistance to damp, and convenience in the form

of openings/closures and microwaveable heating.

Why bother about the future?There are several reasons for doing this. Technology and

new packaging materials are developing at a rate that

has never previously been seen; it is impossible to fore-

cast energy costs, energy resources are decreasing and

knowledge about sustainability and social responsibility is

growing. Demographic changes and increased migration

are affecting the world’s economy and the Internet, social

media and other channels are redrawing the industrial

landscape. Globalisation has a major effect on how and

what we consumers buy and how industry meets our

needs. Companies will therefore take up new roles in the

value chain and must find new ways of collaborating in
