In Ockelbo, the establishment of the administrative court was stopped because the municipality would pay large sums for the establishment.
The establishment would provide 150 jobs.
Synsam is now calling for a press conference on Frösön in Östersund, where Håkan Lundstedt, President and CEO of Synsam Group, Susanna Löfgren, Acting Governor of Jämtland and Bosse Svensson (C), Chairman of the Municipal Board in Östersund, will participate.
In the invitation, Synsam writes that it is now complete with the establishment of a new eyewear factory.
Can provide 150 jobs
It is not known whether Östersund municipality has offered Synsam something to get the establishment here.
Municipal councilor Bosse Svensson (C) does not want to precede the press conference that will be held this afternoon.
- I will answer all questions at the press conference, he says to SVT Nyheter Jämtland.
If the establishment on Frösön will also provide 150 jobs, as was intended in Ockelbo, Synsam does not want to answer before the press conference.
- We answer the questions then, says Jenny Fridh, Chief Communications and Sustainability Officer at Synsam to SVT.
Moves from China to Sweden
One of the reasons why Synsam is moving production from Asia, they say, is that they do not want to be dependent on production in high-risk countries.
- The decision is also linked to both environmental and social conditions, Synsam's CEO Håkan Lundstedt told SVT Gävleborg in October.
