Only hours after Northvolt's bankruptcy on Wednesday, the Korean Dongjin notified all employees in Skellefteå of termination. More are to be expected, fears municipal director Kristina Sundin Jonsson. It is clear that we will see many ripples on the water, she says.
BusinessThe message on Wednesday that the battery manufacturer Northvolt has gone bankrupt is a nightmare message. This says the chairman of the municipal council Lorents Burman (S) at a press conference. The hope now is that the business will be driven further and that a new owner will emerge.
BusinessCrisis-stricken Northvolt has bought itself some breathing room by paying what the company owed to the Tax Agency. However, a long-term solution to the battery manufacturer's financing is still not in place. And at the Enforcement Authority, large Northvolt invoices are piling up.
BusinessAfter the battery manufacturer Northvolt's massive layoff notice on Monday, the municipality is mobilizing to get those who are laid off to stay. We will do everything we can to try to catch them, says municipal director Kristina Sundin Jonsson.
BusinessThe crisis-stricken battery manufacturer Northvolt is laying off 1,000 people in Skellefteå. However, the municipality and region hope that they will stay and seek new jobs in Västerbotten. Skellefteå's industrial uplift and the green transition are much, much larger than Northvolt, says municipal director Kristina Sundin Jonsson.
BusinessParts of Northvolt's factory in Skellefteå, with thousands of employees, will shut down. However, the news is nothing that worries the municipality. Sometimes you need to make a slowdown, says the municipal director.
