Overview
- Miguel Zonnaras said on La Fábrica Podcast that part of the Flynn Paff line is produced in China and imported for sale in Argentina.
- He argued raw materials and technology are now commoditized globally, with competitiveness driven by factors like state intervention, infrastructure and logistics.
- The company later clarified the move covers a single “Flynn Paff Challenge” item representing less than 1% of the brand’s output, chosen because the concept could not be executed locally.
- The Victoria plant continues with rotating suspensions that cycle about 80 workers every 15 days following a reported 29% production drop and roughly 55% idle capacity, while an agreement blocks dismissals under Article 247 until November.
- Minister Federico Sturzenegger weighed in on X by tying the episode to the government’s labor-receipts transparency changes, as Georgalos also signaled roughly 20 Argentina-made product launches planned for 2026.
