Basic Machine Operator

About ekaterra:
Unilever is proud of its tea business, the biggest in the world, with world
class purpose driven brands such as Lipton, PG tips and Pukka. Recently,
Unilever decided to separate the Tea business to ensure it can best achieve
its potential and renamed it to ekaterra to facilitate its separation to a
standalone entity. eka stands for unity and one purpose while terra stands for
earth and nature. As ekaterra we are united in one purpose: growing a world of
wellbeing through the regenerative power of plants.
Unilever is reviewing several options for separation, including a demerger, an
initial public offering, a disposal or through partnership models. Unilever
will retain the tea businesses in India, Nepal and Indonesia, and the
partnership interests in the ready-to-drink Tea joint ventures.
Present in more than ‎100 countries, ekaterra generated revenues of €‎2 billion
in ‎2019. With ‎13 production factories in ‎4 continents and tea growing estates
in ‎3 countries, ekaterra is a profitable and growing business offering a world
of wellbeing with the regenerative power of plants to hundreds of millions of
consumers. As a standalone entity, ekaterra is even better positioned to lead
the industry with dedicated focus driving greater growth and value.
Combining the strength and scale of its global iconic brands with speed and
agility, ekaterra is brewing a 'corporate start-up' mindset that's opening up
new opportunities to flourish every day - both for its business and its
people.
At ekaterra, we work alongside people who put consumer love at the heart of

world of wellbeing and a better you.
