Lácteos Verónica Stalls as 700 Jobs Hang in the Balance and Santa Fe Sends Food Aid

Owners are seeking a buyer with no confirmed deal, leaving workers and suppliers in prolonged uncertainty.

Overview

  • The Santa Fe government delivered emergency food boxes to employees at the company’s plants, including 250 modules for Lehmann, as a stopgap measure.
  • Workers report months without full pay, saying December and January wages remain unpaid with only small advances deposited and partial year-end bonuses.
  • Production is largely halted across the three facilities, with Lehmann’s milk intake down to about 15,000 liters per day and Suardi and Clason inactive.
  • Employees and their families held new demonstrations over the weekend in Lehmann with ATILRA’s support, demanding overdue salaries and a plan to restart operations.
  • The Espiñeira family is courting buyers, but no transaction is confirmed; Cooperativa Guillermo Lehmann publicly denied interest and Savencia has been mentioned without official confirmation.
