Cotar: A Historic Dairy Company in Transition
Cotar, a renowned dairy company established in 1935, has been a significant player in the dairy industry with its roots deeply embedded in Rosario. This location has been crucial in enabling Cotar to effectively serve its regional market and maintain its industry position.
Important Company Events
In a noteworthy development, a cooperative of former Cotar employees has submitted a formal offer to the judiciary to acquire the company's plant and key assets. This initiative is part of a larger strategy aimed at stabilizing Cotar's operations, safeguarding 128 existing jobs, and expanding production capabilities. This move underscores a commitment to preserving the company’s legacy while setting a course for future growth.
Company Plans
The cooperative's strategy focuses not only on maintaining the current workforce but also on enhancing production activities. This plan reflects a concerted effort to ensure the sustainability and growth of Cotar in the competitive dairy market.
Cotar is currently undergoing bankruptcy proceedings, marking a pivotal point in its history. The company has experienced various restructuring phases, including a 1998 agreement with SanCor, which involved transferring its brands to Establecimientos Lácteos San Marco while retaining the ability to sell products under other brands and produce on a contract basis for the cooperative.
