Tetra Pak’s manufacturing site based in Chakan, Maharashtra, is the first site in India across industries to be conferred this honor. The recognition highlights the outstanding levels of production quality, reliability, efficiency and sustainability of this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, and is arguably the most coveted award for the manufacturing industry.
