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.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers.

The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital.
