Alcro-Beckers has been producing paints on the Lövholmen site since 1902. The present paint production will be transferred mainly to Nykvarn, some 40 km to the south of Stockholm, where a new, modern paint plant will be erected next to the company's existing logistics centre. This investment amounts to EUR 16 million (SEK 150 million), and the transfer of production is scheduled to take place during the first half of 2008. Other functions of Alcro-Beckers will continue to be located in the Stockholm area.
