The iconic kitchenware brand filed for bankruptcy in September, and was purchased by a group of lenders, which later formed the company Part Products.

But staff in Australia have now been informed operations in Australia will shut down as the company focuses its attention in overseas markets.

“We've been told the new owners that have purchased Tupperware global are not proceeding with Tupperware in Australia,” a Tupperware Australia worker told Ben Fordham on 2BG.

“They're only keeping eight countries open out of 70, and unfortunately, Australia is not one of them.”

It is reported those countries include the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, China, Korea, India, and Malaysia.

The company began trading in Australia in 1961, but has struggled recently due to falling demand in products, and the decline in popularity of the infamous Tupperware parties.

The company pulled out of New Zealand last year, but it is not known when sales will end in Australia.
