We are not bankrupt
The report from This is Money He tried to contact the company on Monday afternoon, the 8th, and was unable to get a response. Last Friday, the 4th, factory manager Kathia Lavin answered our call and stated that the factory continues to operate normally and is not going bankrupt.
She also stated that the company is working with the legal sector to cancel the auction due to an agreement made with the Attorney General of the National Treasury in 2022 to reduce labor debts.
“Three years ago we had an agreement with the Attorney General’s Office and the original idea was to sell this factory and return to the old factory, which is also here in São Caetano. It turns out that in 2022 there was a change in the legislation regarding companies in judicial recovery and with this lower debt we understand that it is not necessary to sell the entire building, but just a part of it. This way, we wouldn’t need to move the factory,” said the spokeswoman.
