Tetra Pak Expands Capacity and Clean Energy in Mexico in 2025

Tetra Pak ended 2025 with major infrastructure upgrades and new sustainability achievements across its Mexican operations. Over the past two years, the food processing and packaging company has expanded production capacity, accelerated clean-energy deployments, and strengthened its regional supply chain — marking its most active investment period in Mexico in more than a decade.

Mexico has become Tetra Pak’s fourth-largest market globally, following the United States, China, and Brazil. Executives said strong domestic consumption, growing industrial diversification, and consistent capital investment have positioned the country as a strategic production and innovation hub. The 2024–2025 investment cycle, they added, has been essential to advancing the company’s mission to “protect what matters: food, people and the planet.”

A key milestone was the expansion of the Mexicali caps plant in Baja California. Between 2024 and 2025, Tetra Pak invested more than MXN 1 billion (US$54.6 million) to boost output, modernize equipment, and incorporate energy-efficient technologies. The site now supplies customers across Mexico, Latin America, and the United States, and is regarded as one of the company’s best-performing facilities worldwide.

The company also advanced its clean-energy strategy at the Querétaro packaging-materials plant — Tetra Pak’s second-largest facility globally. In 2024, it installed 1,000 solar panels through an MX$11 million (US$600,500) investment, enabling the plant—which exports to the Americas, Europe, and Asia—to avoid 400 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent annually.

Additionally, the Cuautitlan Izcalli processing-equipment plant in the State of Mexico has begun localizing production that was previously carried out in Europe and Asia. The shift has shortened delivery times and reduced emissions associated with long-distance logistics. The company describes the plant as a cornerstone of its manufacturing strategy in the Americas.

Across its operations, Tetra Pak has deployed technologies to reduce energy and water use and advance circularity in packaging solutions. Executives said these initiatives not only enhance the company’s competitiveness in Mexico but also support its global sustainability commitments. “Mexico has been, is, and will continue to be a fundamental part of Tetra Pak,” the company stated. “What we produce here reflects both significant economic value and the pride of the people who make it possible.”
