Hans Rausing , the former chief executive and chairman of Tetra Pak, the Swedish packaging company that filled supermarket aisles worldwide with paperboard containers of milk, juice and other products, died on Aug. 30 at his estate in Wadhurst Park, East Sussex, in the south of England. He was 93.

His family confirmed the death in a statement.

Mr. Rausing, whose father, Ruben , founded Tetra Pak, led the company with his brother Gad for more than 30 years as its work force grew from a handful of people in Sweden to some 36,000.

One of the wealthiest people in Britain, Mr. Rausing moved there in 1982 to avoid Sweden’s higher tax rates. In 1994, when he was worth about 9.6 billion pounds, or $15 billion, he was ranked higher on The Times of London’s list of the richest people than the queen of England. He and his family are now estimated by Forbes to be worth about $12 billion.

Mr. Rausing, who rarely gave interviews, had a reputation in England for being frugal, given to driving near his estate in Wadhurst Park in an old Morris Minor car.
