Built by milk packaging company Tetra Pak for Vietnam’s leading dairy manufacturer, Vinamilk, the plant is extraordinarily automated.
It uses laser guided vehicles, computer software and the Tetra PlantMaster system, to give Vinamilk entire control of the plant from incoming raw materials to the processed, packaged and palletised products.
“The Vietnam milk factory is by far the most advanced plant in automation and integration that Tetra Pak has ever built,” says managing director of Tetra Pak Vietnam, Bert Jan Post.
“All of the individual machines are working together ‘as one’ to deliver optimal performance, with factory-wide integration ensuring high levels of efficiency and uncompromising food safety.”
Vinamilk chairwoman Mai Kiu Liên says its mission is to provide world-class quality milk products at an affordable price.
“This new plant has laid solid foundation for Vinamilk to achieve our goals to become one of the world’s top 50 dairies with over $3 billion revenues by 2017.”
State-owned Vinamilk is the largest dairy manufacturer in Vietnam with 48.7% market share.
During 37 years in business, Vinamilk has launched a wide variety of value added milk products. Vinamilk is a shareholder in the Miraka milk plant at Taupo.
