Blacktown. Primo buys Hans business

Primo Smallgoods, at Chullora, has agreed to buy the failed Japanese-owned Hans Continental Smallgoods business but not the Blacktown plant. More than 400 Hans workers have lost their jobs after the meat processing company, Japanese Tobacco, decided to sell the business. Primo Smallgoods was founded in 1985, at Homebush, and moved to a larger manufacturing facility, at Chullora, in 1989. The company is the largest producer of ham, bacon and smallgoods in Australia
