Bloomberg Businessweek. Retrieved 12 October 2012. "Shijiazhuang Sanlu Group Co Ltd No.539, Heping West Road, Xinhua Di Shijiazhuang, 050071 China" - making it "中国河北省石家庄市市和平西路539号"〕 It produced one of the oldest and most popular brands of infant formula in China.〔(Sanlu decides to recall melamine-contaminated product ), news.163.com (11 September 2008) 〕 New Zealand's Fonterra owns 43% of Sanlu. In September 2008, it was involved in an adulterated powdered milk scandal, affecting some 294,000 Chinese infants and killing six.〔("China Melamine Death Toll Rises" ), BBC (2 December 2008)〕 Their infant formula had been tainted with melamine, which can cause kidney stones and other complications. It received a bankruptcy order from Shijiazhuang Court on 24 December 2008,〔(Sanlu, company in China milk scandal, declared bankrupt )〕 and several of its top managers were sentenced to long prison terms.〔David Barboza, (Death Sentences in Chinese Milk Case ), New York Times, 22 January 2009〕 == Ownership and business == The company began as Shijiazhuang Dairy Company (SDC). After several acquisitions in 1995, Sanlu Group was formed in 1996. Tian Wenhua, then General Manager of SDC, became President and General Manager of Sanlu. Under Tian, Sanlu led the Chinese powdered milk market for 13 consecutive years in terms of sales. Tian was considered one of the most successful entrepreneurs in China for her role in building the company. She was named deputy chairman of the China Dairy Industry Association (中国乳制品工业协会), and elected to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.〔(The Sanlu Trial: Diary of a Dairy Disaster ), Caijing, 15 January 2009〕 The company was a collective; managers and workers both owned shares of Sanlu. Sanlu became Shijiazhuang's largest taxpayer since it had become the largest formula seller in China for a continuous 15-year period. Richard McGregor, author of ''The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers'', said that Sanlu became "an invaluable asset for a city otherwise struggling to attract industry and investment on a par with China's premier metropolises."〔 In December 2005, a joint venture agreement was signed which involved New Zealand dairy cooperative Fonterra taking a 43% equity stake in the Chinese dairy by injecting ¥864 million. The joint venture company started trading in 2006.〔(Fonterra acquires 43% in Sanlu Group, IPO planned ), Xinhua (2 December 2005) 〕 The majority 56% stake is owned by Shijiazhuang Three Deers Limited (石家庄三鹿有限公司).〔(Government does not own stake in Sanlu; Sanlu Group responsible for cover-up ), Xinhua (3 September 2008) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sanlu Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
