Brancourts Closure a Blow for the Latrobe Valley
Tough times for 30 local employees of Brancourts’ Traralgon processing plant.
News that Brancourts has gone into administration is a bitter blow for the more than 30 local employees who are employed at Brancourts’ Traralgon processing plant.
"It has been an incredibly tough time for farmers and the dairy industry more broadly and it’s a shame that an Australian company such as Brancourts has felt the pinch so greatly that it has gone into liquidation." said Mr Northe
"It's imperative that workers at the Traralgon plant and their families are adequately supported during what will be an incredibly tough and challenging time." Mr Northe said.
Mr Northe indicated his preparedness to work with all levels of Government to ensure that all is being done to help and assist impacted employees.
