The spokesperson said that as the company is pursuing creditor protection, it doesn’t have the finances to maintain operations and does not plan to reopen the plants.Its filings listed more than 100 organizations that Joriki owes over $200 million, including $775,000 in unpaid wages. A spokesperson for Danone Canada, which makes Silk products, previously said that production from the affected facility was moved elsewhere in its North American network.Termination notices obtained by The Canadian Press show hundreds of workers were laid off between the four plants. Employees were told they would receive outstanding wages earned and accrued.
Proposal trustee Alvarez & Marsal Canada said in the letter to creditors that Joriki is not bankrupt but hopes to “create a stabilized environment” and give the company “breathing room while it evaluates its strategic alternatives.”
