The Nordic sales and customer Service and distribution activities will continue to operate from Solna in Sweden and research activities will be closed and concentrated in Leiden before year-end 2008.
Other important elements of the program are: product portfolio optimization, process and infrastructure optimization, network rationalization and further integration and streamlining of various functions.
