Three hundred of the affected employees have been notified by Tetra Pak and will be supported via outplacement and other schemes. The transition is set to occur in the next 12 months.

The company’s decision was said to be based on its efforts to optimise its manufacturing footprint, enhance customer service, and respond to evolving market dynamics. 

Tetra will relocate its new corporate facility to a new Singapore location by the end of the year.
