Tetra Pak was founded by Ruben Rausing and built on Erik Wallenberg's innovation, a tetrahedron-shaped plastic-coated paper carton, from which the company name was derived.〔(Our History ) Tetrapak.com, retrieved 28 November 2011〕 In the 1960s and 1970s, the development of the Tetra Brik package and the aseptic packaging technology made possible a cold chain supply, substantially facilitating distribution and storage. From the beginning of the 1950s to the mid-1990s, the company was headed by the two sons of Ruben Rausing, Hans and Gad, who took the company from a family business of six employees, in 1954, to a multinational corporation.〔Leander, Lars, ''Tetra Pak. A Vision Becomes Reality. A company history with a difference'', Lund: Tetra Pak International 1996 (ISBN 91-630-4789-6), p. 29〕 Tetra Pak is currently the largest food packaging company in the world by sales, operating in more than 170 countries and with over 23,000 employees (2012).〔(Company Facts and Figures ) Tetrapak.com, retrieved 29 November 2011〕〔(Creating a Benchmark for Recycling Rubbish ) China Daily, retrieved 7 November 2011〕 The company is privately owned by the family of Gad Rausing through the Swiss-based holding company Tetra Laval, which also includes the dairy farming equipment producer DeLaval and the PET bottle manufacturer Sidel.〔(About Tetra Laval ) Tetralaval.com, retrieved 29 November 2011〕 In November 2011, the Tetra Brik carton package was represented at the exhibition ''Hidden Heroes – The Genius of Everyday Things'' at the London Science Museum/Vitra Design Museum, celebrating "the miniature marvels we couldn’t live without".〔(Miraculous Mundane Objects: From Tetra Pak to Bubble Wrap ) The Telegraph, retrieved 28 November 2011〕〔(Hidden Heroes – The Genius of Everyday Things ) The London Science Museum, retrieved 28 November 2011〕〔(Hidden Heroes ) The Vitra Design Museum, retrieved 28 November 2011〕 The aseptic packaging technology has been called the most important food packaging innovation of the 20th Century by the Institute of Food Technologists and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences called the Tetra Pak packaging system one of Sweden’s most successful inventions of all time.〔(Tetra Pak International S.A. ) Frederick C.

==History==
Tetra Pak was created in 1951 as a subsidiary to Åkerlund & Rausing, a food carton company established in Malmö in 1929 by Ruben Rausing and Erik Åkerlund. Rausing, who had studied in New York at the beginning of the 1920s, had seen self-service grocery stores in the United States, which was unheard of in Europe at the time, and realised that pre-packaging was part of the future in food retailing as a more hygienic and practical way of distributing staple groceries. At the time, these were sold over the counter in cumbersome glass bottles or impractical paper wraps in most European countries.〔 At the end of the 1920s, Rausing bought a run-down packaging factory in Malmö together with the industrialist Erik Åkerlund.〔Leander, Lars, ''Tetra Pak. A Vision Becomes Reality. A company history with a difference'', Lund: Tetra Pak International 1996 (ISBN 91-630-4789-6), p. 20〕 Åkerlund & Rausing was the first packaging company in Scandinavia and eventually became a leading manufacturer of dry food cartons.〔〔(Ruben Rausing ) Tetrapak.com, retrieved 1 November 2011〕 Initially, however, Åkerlund & Rausing had difficulties making profits and in 1933 Åkerlund sold his share to Rausing, who became the sole owner.〔Leander, Lars, ''Tetra Pak. A Vision Becomes Reality.
