They leased more land to farmers in the area and even bought more moors themselves. Locomotives and Coots were used to salvage the home harvest to storage buildings at the plant.

Year 2000 Dan Johansson took over the business in Söftesmåla.

It has invested in a modern factory with new packing machine. The premises are heated, and the new 300 liter bag adapted to EUR pallet formats, making transportation more efficient.
