Asia Pacific Breweries Singapore (APBS), maker of Tiger Beer, will scale down brewing operations at its Tuas plant by the end of 2027. The move affects approximately 130 jobs over two years.
Production will shift to established Heineken breweries in Malaysia and Vietnam, supporting a more agile regional supply network. The Tuas site will be redeveloped for regional logistics, innovation, and a pilot brewery.
Tiger Beer’s brand leadership remains anchored in Singapore. Heineken will expand Singapore-based capabilities in generative AI, brand strategy, and commercial functions - including its first global GenAI lab.
APBS is providing severance packages, outplacement support, reskilling via NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute, and wellbeing resources. The Food and Drink Allied Workers Union confirmed close collaboration on fair transition support.
The shift aligns with Heineken’s broader global restructuring, which includes up to 6,000 job cuts worldwide and revised 2026 profit guidance.
