Saputo has proven it is one of the leading operators in the world so they’re likely to do well; but in the short-term, there is going to be an impact as cheaper milk and cheese products come into Canada,”<br /><br />Mr. Saputo said the company is looking to grow more in the U.S. and in other regions of the world including Latin America, Australia and New Zealand. Saputo already has divisions in Argentina and Europe.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />johnsouthwalesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-60625439213441332592013-02-26T20:32:13.140+00:002013-02-26T20:32:13.140+00:00The Welsh Assembly did give the factory a 7 fugure...The Welsh Assembly did give the factory a 7 fugure sum when Carwyn Jones was Agri Minister. The owner was an Egyptian by the name of Sulliman who was wanted in Kuwait for fraud and had been sentenced to prison in his absence (well, he had fled the country to the UK). They then managed to get this money from Cardiff Bay and before running up massive debts in the Newcastle Emlyn area (including with butchers, building supplies companies, newspaper shop, bakers, hauliers) and ruining the dairy business and owing many farmers massive sums of money (I know of one owed around 100k) they absconded and believed to have fled to Argentina. What's strange is, a google search would have revealed all before giving them any money. They say thought that with money it's a case of 'easy come, easy go'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-37551568297500525282013-02-26T16:29:39.626+00:002013-02-26T16:29:39.626+00:00Anon - the Welsh Assembly turned them down for a £...Anon - the Welsh Assembly turned them down for a £2 million diversification grant.<br /><br />Lesley - well at least that's the hot air supply sorted.Cneifiwrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767078276794410524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-4957038725413947732013-02-26T15:53:13.978+00:002013-02-26T15:53:13.978+00:00are these firms just milking any sweet deals offer...are these firms just milking any sweet deals offered by Carmarthen/welsh assembly?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-66634894060676087522013-02-26T14:09:02.982+00:002013-02-26T14:09:02.982+00:00You will no doubt be reassured to hear that, at th...You will no doubt be reassured to hear that, at this morning's council meeting, Cllr Madge declared that he will be doing everything to ensure that jobs in Carmarthenshire are protected and, indeed, created.Lesleynoreply@blogger.com
