Tetra Pak said its commitment to continuous improvement in terms of controlling and improving the quality, environmental impacts and costs of production has been recognised by the Japanese Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM).

The Institute’s Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) awards aim to reduce machinery breakdowns, accidents and defects by involving all plant employees in the manufacturing process and integrating maintenance with production.

The packaging equipment and materials supplier said its factories in Rubiera in Italy; Wrexham in the UK; Kiev in the Ukraine and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia received the TPM’s 2008 Excellence Awards.
