SINGAPORE: Asia Pacific Breweries Singapore (APBS), which produces Tiger Beer, will scale down brewing operations at its Tuas plant as part of a business transformation.
The move is expected to affect about 130 jobs over the next two years.
Announcing these plans on Tuesday (Mar 24), Heineken, which owns APBS, said large-scale brewing operations at Tuas will be phased down progressively by the end of 2027.
“Production will be reallocated to established regional breweries in Malaysia and Vietnam to support a more agile regional supply approach. Over time, the Tuas site will be redeveloped to support regional logistics and innovation activities, including a pilot brewery,” it added.
APBS will shift to an import-based supply model over the next two years, Heineken said, noting that imported beers already make up a significant part of the Singapore market, accounting for around half of beer consumed.
