for products manufactured by Electrolux units in Denmark, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Rumania, Russia,
Switzerland, Spain and Sweden. Volumes in 2006 were around one
billion pages annually divided among some 20 factories."This is a strategic deal for Elanders and will lead to a creative
partnership. Production will be handled by both our business areas,
which will create excellent conditions for optimal deliveries to
Electrolux. We will not only produce printed matter for Electrolux,
we will help them develop the process surrounding documentation in
order to find better and more cost effective solutions. In practice
this means we will establish DDCs (Document and Distribution Centres)
in different places in Europe starting in Italy and in the area
around Wroclaw in southern Poland," says Patrick Holm, President and
CEO at Elanders."Electrolux factories currently have different order systems
connected to different suppliers. By working together with Elanders
we will now have a supplier and a strategic partner with total
responsibility," says Christina Näsholm, European Purchasing Manager
for Electrolux.

Cooperation will unfold according to a fixed time schedule for the
various production units. This process is expected to be implemented
during the next two years and completely up and running at the latest
in 2009. The value of the contract is estimated at around MSEK 250
for the entire period.
