East Timor: Heineken’s new plant in East Timor to create around 200 direct jobs

In a press release issued on January 8, Heineken Asia Pacific said that it had signed a formal investment agreement with the government of Timor Leste.

Under the agreement, a multi-beverage plant will be built near Dili, the capital of Timor Leste, with construction to begin in 2015.

The plant would be able to manufacture a variety of drinks including beer, soft drinks and water.

The setting up of the plant and subsequent route-to-market is expected to create around 200 direct jobs within local sales and business operations, with another 800 indirect jobs created across retail trade, logistics, transport and other service providers over time.
