Tetra Pak’s primary goal is to ‘protect what’s good’; this encompasses the beverages we package and the consumers of the beverages. Therefore, Rainbow and Tetra Pak are working together to provide the highest quality products to consumers in the most innovative, protective packaging. We wish Arabia a Happy World Milk Day,” said Riccardo Castagnetti, director of Marketing of Tetra Pak Arabia.
