ERJ staff report (DS)

Christchurch, Nerw Zealand -- Skellerup Holdings Limited said it has again escaped serious earthquake disruption, following the second major earthquake in the Christchurch area in six months.

In a statement to the local stock exchange issued on 28 February, Skellerup said, "Skellerup has two factory locations and a separate distribution centre in Christchurch - all located in Woolston, 3km south east of the city centre and thus very close to the epicenter of last Tuesday's earthquake. Despite that proximity, we have had engineering signoff for the essential operations - our warehouse, our primary processing and the area that produces dairy liners, a key product for the NZ and overseas dairy markets."

Acting Chief Executive Officer David Mair said that the dedicated commitment of the key management and all staff in the Skellerup family will ensure , as after the September 2010 earthquake, Customers will have uninterrupted supply.
