To this end, it has contracted with the Krakow-based Laboratoire L'Ideal Parisien and with Laboratorium Kosmetycznym Mława for production of the cosmetics hereto made by Kolastyna itself, with the use of recipes and ingredients supplied by Kolastyna. These changes will result in the redundancy of 100 employees from Kolastyna's Krakow facility; the redundancies will be implemented from 25 June until 24 July 2009.
