Northvolt's November 2024 Chapter 11 bankruptcy (the largest in modern Swedish industrial history) left ~4,000 workers affected. Of the 3,000 Skellefteå factory employees, 1,100+ were foreign nationals on work visas who faced deportation unless finding new employers within 3 months. The European Parliament approved €8.5M in EU aid for ~5,800 dismissed workers. The company had only $30M cash remaining—enough for 7 days of operations—while owing $5.8B in debt.
