HCM CITY — Tetra Pak, a food processing and packaging solutions provider, has recently announced the inauguration of Việt Nam’s first Tetra Recart packaging line with Đồng Giao Foodstuff Export Joint Stock Company (Doveco). 

This milestone, the company said, marks a significant advancement in the country’s food and beverage industry, offering manufacturers a modern, efficient, and sustainable alternative to traditional packaging formats.

Designed for shelf-stable foods, Tetra Recart is a paper-based carton solution that combines high-speed processing with retort sterilisation, ensuring long shelf life while preserving the taste, texture, and nutritional value of the food. 

With a capacity of up to 6,000 cartons per hour, the Tetra Recart line enables producers to optimise operations, reduce packaging weight and waste, and respond to growing consumer demand for convenient, preservative-free products.

The first Tetra Recart packaging line in Việt Nam will be commissioned at Doveco plant in the northern province of Sơn La this July. 

As one of Việt Nam’s leading enterprises in fruit and vegetable cultivation and processing, Doveco’s adoption of this technology reflects a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and value creation across the food supply chain.

Nguyễn Thanh Giang, managing director of Tetra Pak Vietnam, said: “This launch represents a meaningful step forward for Việt Nam’s food industry.

"By introducing advanced packaging technology, we are supporting local producers in enhancing product quality, improving operational efficiency, and meeting the evolving expectations of both domestic and international markets.”

The new packaging line will process premium Vietnamese produce – including sweet corn, pineapple juice, and assorted beans – into recyclable, lightweight cartons. These products will be available in retail outlets nationwide from July 2, offering consumers a fresh and sustainable alternative to other packaged products. — BIZHUB
