Tetra Laval International S.A.

Overview

Tetra Laval International, founded 1951 by Ruben Rausing, is the Swiss umbrella holding company for Tetra Pak, Sidel, and DeLaval, each independently managed. Ownership passed to grandchildren Jörn, Finn, and Kirsten Rausing following their father Gad Rausing's death in 2000, and is divided equally among the three siblings. The secretive, roughly $24bn family also runs a separate investment vehicle, Longbow Finance (30+ employees, six-decade history), deploying across public equities, private equity, real estate, venture capital, collateralized loans, and a fund of hedge funds.
