Tetra Pak-Doveco launches Vietnam’s first Tetra Recart® packaging line

Tetra Pak, a global leader in food processing and packaging solutions, announced on June 30 the inauguration of Vietnam’s first Tetra Recart® packaging line with Dong Giao Foodstuff Export JSC (Doveco).

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

As one of Vietnam’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.

Nguyen Thanh Giang, managing director of Tetra Pak Vietnam, commented, “This launch represents a meaningful step forward for Vietnam’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. Collaboration is key to driving sustainable growth, and we are proud to work alongside partners like Doveco to help shape the future of food in Vietnam.”

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

Dinh Cao Khue, chairman of Doveco, added, “Our partnership with Tetra Pak reflects our shared vision for a more innovative and sustainable food industry. With Tetra Pak’s proven expertise and reliable technology, we are able to bring high-quality Vietnamese products to market in packaging that meets global standards. With Tetra Recart®, we can now offer our favourite Vietnamese ingredients in packaging that’s not only modern and convenient, but also sustainable.”

The country’s food and beverage industry is projected to reach $96.68 billion this year and continue expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 6.74 per cent through to 2030.
