Malaysia: Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia’s Shah Alam brewery to stay closed until further notice

Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd, which has temporarily suspended the operations of its brewery in Shah Alam from June 2, will continue to close the brewery until further notice, the Edge Markets reported on June 28.

The group said in a bourse filing today that the decision was made following the government’s announcement yesterday that Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan will be extended and that the National Security Council’s standard operating procedures (SOPs) announced on June 1 will continue to apply during this period.

“As such, the company’s brewery in Shah Alam will remain temporarily closed until further notice and necessary arrangements to work-from-home for our employees remain in place,” it said.

Carlsberg was unchanged at RM22 on June 28, valuing the group at RM6.73 billion.
