Packaging firm Tetra Pak has acquired Johnson Industries International, a Wisconsin, US-based company that specialises in the design, development and manufacture of equipment for mozzarella cheese production.
The business is one of 'North America’s principal suppliers to the high-quality, high-volume segment of mozzarella cheese manufacturing', the company said.
“The acquisition of Johnson Industries International adds essential know-how and technology in a sector of the cheese market that is growing ever-more important to our business," said Monica Gimre, executive vice president, processing systems at Tetra Pak.
"Many of our customers are expanding production in this category. Thanks to this acquisition, we can now ensure they have access to a complete equipment and services solution, helping minimise the complexity of plant management.”
The acquisition will broaden Tetra Pak's cheese technology portfolio, and 'strengthen its position as a leading global provider of cheese manufacturing solutions', the packaging firm said.
