From the administrators' statement
Lasco Jamaica had successfully pioneered the production and marketing of Soya products in powdered form into the Jamaican, Caribbean and Latin American markets in partnership with Solae, a subsidiary of DuPont. This successful experience formed the platform for entry into the UK and European markets and Lasco Europe Limited was incorporated in June 2003. The Managing Director appointed developed the business plan to produce ready to drink and powdered Soya shake drinks together with juice based soft drinks and fruit juices. The location of Plymouth for the production facility was encouraged by the availability of South West Regional Development Agency assistance and the positive attitude of Plymouth City Council.
The business plan provided for a substantial and fully accredited production facility with a total of seven production lines supported by state of the art processing. The lease on Quadra Building was.agreed and conversion began in January 2004. The facility conversion and equipment installation programme was compressed to meet launch dates of May 2004 for juices and July 2004 for Soya drinks. The principal market established for the Soya drinks was foodservice with Compass agreeing to take the output of one line into school catering.
