Lasco Jamaica

LASCO Affiliated Companie (formerly LASCO Group of Companies) is a Jamaican holding company with operations in food products, financial services and distribution.

History

In 2004, the company started a factory in Plymouth, England to manufacture products for the West Indian community in the United Kingdom that they withdrew within two years.[1]

After lengthy litigation, Chin's ex-wife Audrey, a chartered accountant, was awarded 50% shares in the company. The marriage ended in 1994, but the ruling by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council was not issued until October 1st 2007.[2]

In 2006, Lasco, which sells imported milk powder in Jamaica, unsuccessfully opposed the Jamaican Government's proposal to create a Dairy Development Board.[3]

Until 2008 they were the Official Distributors for Johnson & Johnson products in Jamaica.[4]
