Yeo Hiap Seng retrenches 25 staff following Malaysia production shift

The company will offer affected employees job placement, career guidance, and counselling.

Yeo Hiap Seng (Yeo’s) will lay off 25 employees at its Senoko facility in Singapore as part of a move to consolidate can manufacturing in Malaysia.

The company said the shift allows its Johor and Selangor plants to use capacity more efficiently and streamline production across its network.

The Senoko site will remain Yeo’s headquarters, logistics hub, and a smaller-scale production facility.

Yeo’s plans to provide affected employees with job placement support, career guidance, and counselling.

Where possible, staff will be considered for vacancies in its Malaysian operations.

Retrenchment benefits, based on salary and years of service, will be provided in line with agreements with the union and the Ministry of Manpower’s guidelines on responsible retrenchment.

The company worked with the Food, Drinks and Allied Workers Union to shape the severance and transition support.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
