Change of main sub-supplier to the Tesco project
in the UK in November 2006 caused extra costs of
15 MNOK and delayed deliveries. A new main sub-
supplier has been appointed, and 7 centers had
been shipped by the end of 2006. TOMRA is on
track for delivery of ~90 centers in second and
third quarter 2007.
In Tokyo, TOMRA and Sumitomo Corporation now have
a total of approximately 50 reverse vending
machines installed in eight wards. The project
has attracted a lot of interest from Japanese
media and new products tailored to the Japanese
market are now being developed to accelerate
sales.
