Decisive action takes place after the announcement

Following Northvolt's announcement of redundancies, Skellefteå Municipality has made a number of important efforts to ensure that the work force remains in the region. This includes identifying what consequences Northvolt's redundancy and pause in expansion will have for local businesses, organising matching events and collaborating with a number of actors throughout the region to address the issue from different angles.
Skellefteå acts to retain all skills

The Municipality of Skellefteå wants as many of those affected at Northvolt to stay in the region as possible. The aim is to meet the labour needs of other companies and the municipality. This was the message at a press conference on Monday, following Northvolt's announcement that 1,000 employees in Skellefteå would be affected by the redundancies. This means that approximately 2,800 people will continue to work at the factory in Skellefteå.
