Dr. Gad Rausing (19 May 1922 – 28 January 2000) was a Swedish industrialist and archaeologist. Together with his brother Hans he inherited the Swedish packaging company Tetra Pak, founded by their father Ruben Rausing and currently the largest food packaging company in the world by sales (2011). In 1995 Rausing bought out his brother’s interest in the company in what was at the time the most extensive private buyout in Europe.
