Dairy factory | Industry rival asks Synlait to stop building Pokeno factory

A rival Chinese dairy manufacturer has thrown a spanner in the works of Synlait's $280 million Pokeno factory.

Managing director of GMP Pharmaceuticals Qing Ye (also known as Karl Ye) has sent a “cease and desist” request to Synlait to stop work on the factory.
Ye is also 100 per cent owner and shareholder of New Zealand Industrial Park Limited, and has bought land adjacent to the Pokeno factory. The letter has been written in his capacity as owner of NZPL.
Synlait chief executive Leon Clement said the letter was a request and not an order, so work was continuing on the plant, which is due to be completed by August.
