Tupperware Adds Jim Van Ingen to Senior
Leadership Team as Executive Vice President of Supply Chain
Mr. Van Ingen joins Tupperware
with career experience in global manufacturing and distribution
across the automotive and industrial industries. Most recently, he
served as President of the Automotive Powertrain Components
business at Novares Group, a French plastic and metal automotive
OEM components manufacturer with more than 40 sites worldwide. In
this role, he had full responsibility for the company's seven U.S.
and Mexico operating facilities.
During his time with Novares, he also served as President of the
Automotive Body components business responsible for maintaining
cost and efficiency levels during a volatile period for
semiconductor chip and plastic resin sourcing.
Prior to Novares, Mr. Van Ingen
served as President and CEO of Bway Corporation, a $1.5 billion private equity portfolio company,
and led transformation initiatives across nearly 40 global
manufacturing sites for The Marmon Group/Berkshire Hathaway by
launching new innovations, enhancing customer experiences, and

"We're building a business that is as big as the Tupperware
brand, and in order to do so, we're expanding into new channels,
new product categories and new methods of distribution. Having a
skilled and experienced supply chain leader like Jim is exactly the
talent we need to help push our omnichannel growth plan forward,"
said Miguel Fernandez, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Tupperware Brands. "Especially in
today's challenging operating and supply chain environment, we
believe that Jim's global operational expertise, successful
turnaround experience, and ability to build high-performing supply
chain teams around the world will be an especially valuable asset
to our rapidly evolving company."
At Tupperware, Mr. Van Ingen will
oversee the Company's global supply chain strategy and execution.
He will be responsible for operational performance, including
delivering against product and service level agreements, cost
objectives, and introducing processes, infrastructure, and
technology to drive operational excellence. He will lead the
Company's manufacturing, procurement, distribution, and quality
teams to reduce cost given inflationary pressures on areas like
resin and logistics, strategically optimize the company's
manufacturing and distribution footprint, and determine the future
vision for sourcing efforts to support the company's
transformation. He will also be responsible for leading the
company's environmental, social and governance strategy, and
further integrating ESG principles throughout the global
organization.
