Tetra Pak(r), the world's leading food processing and packaging solutions company, has received the first DuPont Silver Anniversary award for excellence in continuing innovation. Awarded to winners of five or more previous DuPont Awards for packaging innovation throughout the programme's 25-year history, the award honours the consistent leadership demonstrated by Tetra Pak in packaging innovation over the last quarter-century, says a press release issued on Tuesday.
Michael Grosse, Executive Vice President of Development and Service Operations at Tetra Pak said "Since the company's founding over 60 years ago, Tetra Pak has constantly driven packaging innovation with a view to making food safe and available for people everywhere. We are delighted to receive this award from DuPont in recognition of our achievements. We are committed to remaining at the cutting edge of the industry."
The DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation is the industry's longest-running, global, independently judged celebration of innovation and collaboration throughout the value chain. Each year an esteemed panel awards diamond, gold or silver honours based on "excellence" in one or all of three categories: Innovation; Sustainability; and Cost/Waste Reduction. This year the independent judges granted one diamond, four gold and 10 silver awards for packaging in a diverse set of markets.
