Overview
- Judge Leandro Julio Enríquez of Civil and Commercial Court No. 7 in Mercedes decreed bankruptcy on November 8 and opened immediate liquidation of Lácteos Conosur S.A., operator of La Suipachense.
- The ruling closed the Suipacha plant, transferred assets to the court-appointed sindicatura, disqualified company directors, and restricted travel for president Jorge Luis Borges León.
- The court ordered notification to the Central Bank to block accounts, embargo balances, inhibit payments, and secure books and records while the inventory proceeds.
- Judicial filings cite roughly AR$8.458 billion in bounced checks and over AR$1 billion in labor and sector claims, with about 140 to 150 workers left without jobs after prolonged stoppages.
- Creditors may verify claims until February 10, 2026, as the case adds to the sector’s strain following the recent bankruptcy of ARSA, another dairy managed by the Venezuelan group Maralac.
