Eyde Cluster is now one out of 107 clusters from 18 different European countries marked with the gold label. 

- The fact that we went through this process, has not changed anything of the way we are organized. We have been doing good for a long time. The fact that we have to make a continual bettering, as a part of the request, is only on the positive side, emphasizes Skofteland Gislefoss.
