Up to 24 full-time and part-time jobs could be cut at DB Breweries if a decision to redevelop the Tui Brewery goes ahead.
The proposed redevelopment would involve the installation of a new, smaller capacity brewery affecting 24 jobs.
DB Breweries today entered into a consultation process which will determine whether changes to the current operations at Tui Brewery would take place.
Changes to the roles at the Mangatainoka plant would not come into effect until May 2016 if the proposal is given the go ahead.
In a statement, DB Breweries said the exact number of job losses would be determined at the conclusion of the consultation process.
