Past, Present and Future of Jebsen & Jessen Packaging

The Jebsen & Jessen Packaging Conference was held in Feb 2025 to bring together colleagues from various locations, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing. 

The day began with an opening speech by Group CEO Per Magnusson, guided by wonderful emcees, Aidiel Mad Rosli and Syazlin Shahri from Nilai. The official launch was marked by an exciting balloon-bursting ceremony led by Chee Keong Chang (CK), Hor Chang Tee (Tee), Tau Siong Chui (Mr Chui) and Per himself.

Throughout the morning, colleagues from Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia shared plant performance updates, providing valuable insights into each team’s progress. Mr Chui followed with a big-picture view of Packaging’s overall performance.

A proud moment came when outstanding teams were celebrated. Jebsen & Jessen Packaging in Vietnam was recognised as Best Performing Company, while Jebsen & Jessen Packaging in Malaysia – Nilai received the Best Transformation Company Award. 

CK then walked us through the 2025 Packaging Budget, followed by Tee’s recap of 2024 achievements and 2025 goals, reinforcing a shared commitment to excellence. Another highlight was the well-earned 5S Award, presented to ITA in recognition of continuous improvements.

HR business partner Azlan Mohammed later took the stage to share updates on people development, HR digitalisation, and succession planning. RBU Controller Linda Anthonius then provided key financial insights, ensuring everyone had a clear picture of progress and priorities.

Looking ahead, CK introduced the Packaging 2029 Strategy, a vision that excited and motivated all. This led seamlessly into a Leadership Firechat with Mr Chui, Tee, CK, Chin Joo Loh (CJ), Leng Hwa Phoa (Phoa), Eric Lim, Hui Hui Yee and Wan Yau Tai, offering an open and heartfelt discussion on career growth and the vast opportunities within Jebsen & Jessen Packaging. There was also time to celebrate Mr Chui’s well-deserved CEO of the Year award, a moment of pride for all.

Of course, no conference is complete without some fun! A lively group photo, a delicious lunch, and an energiser game brought laughter and energy to the day. As evening fell, the team enjoyed a mesmerising lion dance and team performances, strengthening bonds and creating lasting memories.
