Tetra Pak announces new MD for Oceania

Tetra Pak has announced the appointment of Boris Munster as Managing Director of its Oceania business.

Munster, in his new role, will be responsible for Tetra Pak’s business operations in Australia and New Zealand. He succeeds Andrew Pooch, who stepped down to retire after nearly 35 years of service to the company.

Having worked across multiple regions in Europe and North America, Munster brings extensive global commercial experience in the food and beverage and retail industries.

Munster joined Tetra Pak 15 years ago as a Retail Account Manager in Belgium. He has held various roles within the company since then, including Key Account Director for Contract Manufacturing in the United States and Canada, successfully growing the team and facilities while being heavily involved with the company’s global DE&I initiatives.

“Boris brings a strong commercial acumen and a broad set of knowledge from his experience working in Europe and North America, making him an outstanding candidate for the role. I’m confident that his hunger for success — combined with his years of industry expertise — will be invaluable in bringing the next chapter of growth at Tetra Pak in Oceania,” Pooch said.

Munster said he is honoured to be given the opportunity to build on the foundation set up by Pooch, who has led Tetra Pak through considerable challenging times during the pandemic.

“I am thrilled to take on this role and lead our amazing team at Tetra Pak Oceania to deliver innovative packaging and processing solutions for our customers and help them advance their sustainability goals by delivering solutions that can decarbonise the food industry. Oceania is well poised for its next chapter of growth and I look forward to working with the team to take the business to new heights,” Munster said.

In his new role, Munster will be based in Melbourne, Australia.
