CEO of Northvolt in Skellefteå resigns

Skellefteå The CEO of Northvolt Ett, Mark Duchesne, is leaving his post, it was announced on Wednesday.

Northvolt Ett is the main factory in Skellefteå, where the current production of batteries takes place and where an expansion of the business has just been stopped in connection with the bankruptcy of the subsidiary Northvolt Ett Expansion.

The departure comes after Northvolt's crisis worsened in recent months. The basic problem is that the production of batteries has not developed as planned.

Mark Duchesne will be replaced by Angéline Bilodeau, who heads Northvolt's operations in Canada. She will work in Skellefteå until the end of the year, when a permanent CEO for Northvolt Ett will be in place.
