Tetra Pak to set up EUR 14 mn integrated packaging hub in Libya: Global packaging solutions giant Tetra Pak Egypt is making its debut in Libya with a EUR 14 mn greenfield investment in their first integrated packaging and processing project in the country, the company said in a press release(pdf). The project is part of Tetra Pak Egypt’s broader strategy to expand into high-potential markets.

The details: The facility — a joint venture with Zulfa, a subsidiary of Alushibe Holding — will be located on a 140k sqm plot in Benghazi and is expected to begin operations in early 2026, starting with milk cartons and juice boxes. The project will offer advanced packaging solutions to the Libyan market for the first time, initially serving dairy and juice producers, and “is poised to

become one of the region’s most advanced industrial sites,” the statement reads. The facility will feature three production and filling lines in its first phase.

What they said: “This investment reflects our commitment to contributing to economic and industrial development,” Tetra Managing Director Wael Khoury said. He added that the partnership with Zulfa “combines Tetra Pak’s global expertise with Zulfa’s deep local knowledge.”

Building for long-term growth: Tetra Pak Egypt’s sales and business development heads, Walid Shahata and Hesham Rizk emphasized the company’s goal of becoming a long-term strategic partner to Libyan food producers by offering tailored, end-to-end solutions.

Tetra Pak’s entry into the Libyan market comes as more Egyptian firms ramp up activity across the border. Egyptian companies are expected to double the value of their projects in Libya to USD 10 bn by 2028, with many participating in reconstruction efforts backed by the USD 12.7 bn Libyan state fund. Egypt is also moving forward with two planned industrial zones in the country worth a combined USD 250 mn, with at least 22 local players already on board.
