The company Iansa confirmed this Tuesday the “Definitive term” of sugar production at its plant located in the city of The Angels.
Through an essential fact signed by Gonzalo Sanhueza Dueñas, president of the company, they indicated to the Commission for the Financial Market (CMF) that the decision was adopted after an extraordinary session of the board of directors.
“It was agreed that the sugar plant located in Los Angeles will not receive beets during the 2020-2021 sugar campaign ″, the letter specified.
Next, it was pointed out that the “definitive termination of sugar production in the referred plant” was also agreed.
The latter, detailed Iansa, will materialize from this September 29.

In 2018 they closed their plant in Linares, affecting -directly and indirectly-, the employment of some 4 thousand people.
In Los Angeles they perform around 121 workers. Some “will be relocated within the seven production centers” that the company has in Chile.
For others, the company said, “a comprehensive benefits package has been developed.”
“The Chillán plant will gather all the sugar production, after more than US $ 30 million of investment,” specified Iansa.
