In 1943, after many attempts, the young chemist Erik Wallenberg , the engineer Harry Järund and the sales manager Erik Torudd succeeded in developing the Tetra Pak, a completely new packaging for milk.
In 1951 he founded Tetra Pak AB in Lund together with Erik Wallenberg as a subsidiary of Åkerlund & Rausing. The first filling line was delivered to a dairy in Lund in 1952, which was used to fill cream.
