Tupperware: Embattled food container firm files for bankruptcy
ShareShareShareShareShare

Last year, the firm warned that it may go bust unless it could quickly raise new funds.

The company’s shares have fallen by more 50% this week after reports that it was planning to file for bankruptcy.

After a brief surge in sales during the pandemic, as more people cooked at home, the firm saw demand continue to slide.

The rising cost of raw materials, higher wages and transportation costs have also eaten into its profit margins.

“Over the last several years, the company’s financial position has been severely impacted by the challenging macroeconomic environment,” Tupperware’s chief executive Laurie Ann Goldman said in a statement to investors, external.

Tupperware was founded in 1946 by Earl Tupper, who patented the containers’ flexible airtight seal.

Tupperware was a major innovation, as it utilised new plastics to keep food fresh for longer, which was invaluable when refrigerators were still too expensive for many families.

However, it was not an immediate success.

It was the pioneering saleswoman Brownie Wise who helped turn the brand into a household name, literally.

She developed an approach in which salespeople, who were mostly women, sold Tupperware to other women in their homes, better known as “Tupperware parties”.

According to the company, Tupperware is now sold in 70 countries around the world.
