ACO Hud has selected CCS in Borlänge for manufacture of pharmaceutical and skin-care products. CCS in Borlänge, Sweden has entered an agreement with leading Swedish skin-care company ACO Hud to move manufacture of pharmaceutical and skin- care products to CCS's production facility in Borlänge. The first stage of the agreement extends to 31 December 2003 and production are estimated to amount to around 2.5 million items per year. Jonas Nilsson, Managing Director of CCS, " 2.5 million items per year is a large contract manufacturing order which will increase CCS' turnover by around 15% during 2001. Over and above enabling extension of our production facility and creating employment for 5-6, the order ensures improved prospects for our own growth and development and allows us to engage in new projects with greater dedication".
