Stefan Fageräng has taken over as MD of Tetra Pak Southern Africa in May, 2018 to replace former MD, John Strömblad.

Fageräng’s experience includes encouraging collaboration among government, industry, and health experts to curb poor health, including obesity issues that, among others, encouraged measures to develop healthier products in sustainable packaging.

“It gives us great pleasure to welcome Stefan as the head of Tetra Pak Southern Africa as we celebrate the company’s 60th anniversary in South Africa,” says Penny Ntuli, communications director SA.

“We believe that his vision and vast experience will help us support our strategic regional customers in the rapidly urbanising, middle income markets throughout Southern Africa.”

Fageräng is an industry stalwart who rose through Tetra Pak’s ranks, from management trainee in Sweden to senior management, during his 27 years of tenure.

Fageräng has been MD of Tetra Pak North West Europe, Benelux and Eastern Mediterranean, to name a few, as well as VP of Sales and Marketing in the company’s Processing Division.

He has served the company in 12 different countries in nearly every department of its global portfolio.

He graduated Uppsala University in Sweden where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Economics. He also completed several executive programmes in leadership and management at IMD in Switzerland.
