El Ángel Restarts Production
Following Earthquage
A little after three weeks of the 6.2 earthquake that hit Cinchona
and Vara Blanca, the El Ángel plant, located close to the epicentre,
is starting up production again.
Little by little workers, the majority living in the affected quake
area, are beginning to get back to work after the January 8
earthquake.
The company says that the machinery was not damaged in the
earthquake and were able to save the majority of the raw materials
used in the production process and the company is gearing up for
full production.
Although it will take some time, probably a year an a half before
the lands of Cariblanco can be productive again and repairs made to
the storage houses, the company says it is keeping the plant open
and in production to not lay off employees, who are also in the
midst of rebuilding their lives.
Both the Ministerio de Salud (Health ministry) and the Comisión
Nacional de Emergencia (National Emergency Commission) have
inspected the plant and found no risk.
El Ángel employs some 300 people in the plant, the majority from
Cinchona, the town located the nearest to the epicentre and
completed destroyed.
El Ángel is a producer of canned Fruits, Vegetables, Preserves, Jams
and sauces.
