Northvolt to Stop Production at End of June Without Buyer

  • In March 2025, Swedish company Northvolt declared bankruptcy and announced it will discontinue operations at its primary Skellefteå manufacturing plant by June 30 due to the absence of a suitable buyer.
  • The bankruptcy resulted from mounting debt, slow demand, production delays, and failure to secure sufficient investors since filing for U.S. Chapter 11 protection in November 2024.
  • Northvolt operated one production line supplying truck maker Scania but could only maintain limited battery cell output during bankruptcy under trustee Mikael Kubu’s oversight.
  • Kubu announced that Northvolt Ett’s battery cell manufacturing will be slowly discontinued, aiming to fully stop operations by June 30, due to the absence of a suitable buyer.
  • Northvolt’s collapse marks one of Sweden’s largest corporate failures and weakens Europe’s efforts to compete with China’s electric vehicle battery industry dominance.
