Dansco Cheese Factory

October 2007 - The “Dansco” factory in Newcastle Emlyn is now owned by the Saputo dairy processors who have no connection with the former owners referred to below.

An e-mail was received by this website in March 2003 claiming criminal activity by the owner of the Dansco parent company - Hebatco.

After publishing the email on this website we were threatened with legal action by lawyers working for Hebatco Solarus Group Ltd, the group holding company for Hebatco International General Trading Limited and Dansco Dairy Products Limited (Note, www.dansco.co.uk now re-directs the website of the new owners, Saputo).

In October 2003, this story appeared in an Arab Newspaper Financial Scam Victims Plan Joint Action to Recover Money.

We removed the offending article, but have in 2006 assisted the BBC with an investigation into the affairs of the owner of Dansco, resulting in a Radio Cymru Programme (in Welsh)..
