BLARNEY
CANNING FACTORY IN JEOPARDY!
|
After many hours of tedious work in 1999, Dave
Carpenter, plant manager was able to bring the Emmetsburg
Blarney Canning Factory to Y2K compliance. According to Carpenter everything
has been running smoothly until this past week. He informed Mickey Conlon,
Chairman of St. Pat's, that the plant might have to be closed down due a
shortage of the 6oz cans in which the Blarney is canned. Carpenter said
there is only enough cans to run through March 9th. If the 6oz cans cannot
be found in time the factory will have to be shut down and about 40-50 people
will be out of work. According to Conlon the Association is desperately
trying to find a wholesaler who can furnish the cans in order to keep the
factory open. The only other alternative, according to Conlon, will be to
use a 12oz can. A decision is expected to be made by the end of the week.
Carpenter said that if the factory has to be shut down, the Blarney that is
being stored will have to be destroyed. |
