Tupperware Brands Corporation, whose food containers have been a mainstay in American kitchens, has filed for bankruptcy.
“Over the last several years, the company’s financial position has been severely impacted by the challenging macroeconomic environment,” Laurie Ann Goldman, Tupperware president and CEO, said in a statement late Tuesday. “As a result, we explored numerous strategic options and determined this is the best path forward. This process is meant to provide us with essential flexibility as we pursue strategic alternatives to support our transformation into a digital-first, technology-led company.
It also secured $21 million in new financing, an extension on the deadline for paying back about $348 million in debt and a reduction in the amount of debt it owed by around $55 million. But the company’s finances still declined following the deal. Tupperware shuttered its only US plant this year in South Carolina, resulting in 148 layoffs, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act filing.
