This operation now has some 40 employees. A settlement has been reached, implying the remaining operations being sold to Optronic. The take-over starts from year-end 2009, and some staff will be able to stay in employment with Optronic at Skellefte\u00e5.<\/p>\n<p>\"I am pleased about what we are doing now. One result of the take-over is to safeguard skills and continuity for customers. It is also very positive that we have succeeded in achieving the best possible solution for our staff at Skellefte\u00e5 together with Optronic,\" commented Knut Pogost, NOTE's CEO and President. \"The deal also allows us to reduce our total assets, while also helping us lift our margins somewhat in the fourth quarter.\"<\/p>\n<p>Rickard \u00c5str\u00f6m, Optronic's CEO, added that the timing of the deal suits his company well: \"the optoelectronics market is in high growth, and our acquisition of NOTE Skellefte\u00e5 means that we can respond to this growth optimally.
