Swedish battery firm Northvolt files for bankruptcy

Swedish electric vehicle (EV) battery startup Northvolt has recently announced that it has filed for bankruptcy in Sweden due to financial and operational challenges. This decision was made by the company’s board of directors after an exhaustive search for viable solutions to secure its operational future.

The bankruptcy filing comes at a time of geopolitical instability, rising capital costs, supply chain disruptions, and shifts in market demand. Northvolt has been facing a series of challenges, both anticipated and unforeseen, that have hindered its production efforts.

Despite efforts to restructure financially, including a Chapter 11 process in the US, and receiving liquidity support from lenders and key counterparties, Northvolt was unable to meet the necessary financial conditions for continuity. As a result, the board determined that bankruptcy was the only solution while exploring all financing options during the Swedish bankruptcy process.

A Swedish court-appointed trustee will now oversee the sale of Northvolt’s business and assets, as well as the settlement of its obligations. The goal of this process is to ensure an orderly transition for employees, partners, and creditors. Mikael Kubu has been nominated by Northvolt as the trustee.

The bankruptcy filing includes Northvolt, Northvolt Ett, Northvolt Labs, Northvolt Revolt, and Northvolt Systems. However, Northvolt’s subsidiaries in Germany and North America are not included in the bankruptcy filings, and decisions regarding these entities will be made by the trustee in consultation with the Group’s lenders.

Northvolt board of directors’ interim chairman Tom Johnstone expressed the difficulty of the situation, stating, “This is an incredibly difficult day for everyone at Northvolt. We set out to build something groundbreaking — to drive real change in the battery, EV, and wider European industry and accelerate the transition to a green and sustainable future.”

In October 2024, Northvolt’s subsidiary company also filed for bankruptcy following a restructuring effort aimed at lowering costs and cutting back on battery manufacturing capacity expansion plans.

Despite the challenges faced by Northvolt, the company remains hopeful that the outreach to potential investors during the Chapter 11 process will accelerate the identification of necessary financing to allow for continued trading under the Swedish bankruptcy process. The future of Northvolt and its subsidiaries remains uncertain as the bankruptcy proceedings unfold.
