Mengniu Ma’anshan City dairy plant factory manager Gao Jianjun said: "Within ten months of installing the first Tetra Pak A3, 100 million packages had been produced on a single line, and we were able to reduce the overall operational cost for Latte by 20% in comparison with low-speed filling machines.

"Based on these results, we made the decision to order three more lines."
