Tetra Pak has appointed Wael Khoury as the new Managing Director for Southern Africa, succeeding Klaus Plenge, who has successfully led the business over the past four years. Khoury, who was appointed in November last year, brings over 25 years of global experience within Tetra Pak, having held senior leadership roles across multiple regions, including Australia, the Middle East, and North Africa. His appointment signals a continued focus on driving innovation, sustainability, and customer partnership in one of the company’s most dynamic markets
Khoury joins the Southern Africa team from his most recent position as Managing Director of Tetra Pak Egypt Area, where he oversaw strong business growth and led several milestone initiatives. Under his leadership, Tetra Pak Egypt developed the country’s first sustainable beverage carton recycling infrastructure in partnership with Uniboard for Paper and Board, an investment that has already processed over 2,500 tonnes of used beverage cartons and aims to reach 8,000 tonnes annually.
He also spearheaded a €14 million greenfield project in Libya, introducing advanced packaging and processing solutions to support local food production and economic growth.
“I’m honoured to take on this new role and to continue building on the strong foundation laid by the Southern Africa team,” said Khoury. “Tetra Pak’s purpose – to make food safe and available everywhere – continues to inspire us to do more for our customers, our people, and our planet. I look forward to working with our partners to advance sustainable growth, strengthen local collaboration, and bring innovative solutions that benefit the region’s food industry and communities.”
