KUALA LUMPUR – Gardenia Foods (S) Pte Ltd has announced plans to relocate its bakery production from Singapore to Johor Bahru, with its Pandan Loop facility scheduled to close on June 30.
The company said the transition will result in the retrenchment of 141 employees at the Singapore site, Bernama reported.
In a statement, Gardenia described the relocation as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and remain competitive amid a challenging global environment.
"All affected employees were informed of the decision during an internal meeting on Wednesday morning and will receive the appropriate notice period and support in line with local regulations and guidelines," the statement said.
"The company is also considering eligible employees for suitable roles within the group’s network of operations, where possible," it added.
Gardenia emphasised that Singapore will continue to serve as its central hub for brand management, innovation, product development, quality and regulatory oversight, customer and stakeholder engagement, as well as daily distribution and supply chain operations.
"The Singapore team will still have 250 employees after the transition and will continue to oversee quality governance and ensure compliance with requirements set by the Singapore Food Agency and the Health Promotion Board," the company said. - May 20, 2026
