SAMR is not really an issue for A2M in the same way as BAL. We have SAMR on Synlait’s Dunsandel facility which produces both English label and China label IF. Once the new Pokeno facility is complete if we had to wait for SAMR approval Synlait could shift all the a2 English label IF production to Pokeno and leave the Dunsandel for China label IF production.
Synlait’s current Dunsandel facility is much bigger than the Pokeno one being constructed as well, and currently English label sales are much higher than China label - so we wouldn’t haven’t any capacity issues for China label IF coming out of the current SAMR approved Dunsandel facility - if the above scenario was to play out.
The important approval for the new Synlait factory is actually the CNCA registration- which is much faster and easier to get, but vital for ANY IF that is to be sold into Chinese channels (including CBEC).
So in short - it’s blue skies ahead!
