Overview
- A large fire broke out inside SanCor’s Sunchales complex and damaged a shed that houses the maintenance workshop, quality-control laboratories, and technical offices, and there were no reported injuries.
- Local volunteer fire brigades from Sunchales, backed by crews from Humberto Primo and regional zapadores, worked for hours to contain flames and stop smoke from spreading to neighboring halls.
- A senior SanCor official said a short circuit appears likely but official forensic experts (peritos) and police investigators are on site to determine the definitive cause and to quantify material losses.
- The Sunchales plant was authorized to keep operating under a court decree that placed SanCor in bankruptcy, and at least six economic groups have already expressed interest in buying the factory complex.
- Because the damaged shed supports maintenance and laboratory functions, the loss could affect daily repairs and product testing, which may change short‑term operations, worker conditions, and valuations in the ongoing sale talks pending the peritos' report.
