  • one of the largest employers in Halland county[13], and one of the largest worksites in Europe.[14]
  • "apart from the production, there's also a great deal of research and development carried out here."[15]
  • A major project of modernisation and effectivisation started 2007, with a budget of 22 million SEK.[16]
