Now, almost a year later, it is clear that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/smartcitysweden.com\/companies\/1776\/northvolt-ab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Northvolt<\/a>&nbsp;is establishing one of its factories on the site. Northvolt, which manufactures lithium-ion batteries for electric cars, among other things, will produce cathode material for batteries and battery cells in the Borl\u00e4nge-located factory. As early as 2024, Northvolt wants to start production and expects to have to employ up to 1,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 This is extremely important for Borl\u00e4nge and Dalarna. It really strengthens our position as a city and a region where the modern, green industry is the basis for our continued development and growth. In many ways, it can be said that it will now be a new Borl\u00e4nge and we warmly welcome Northvolt to us, says Jan Bohman (S), chairman of the municipal board.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Part of Borl\u00e4nge\u2019s development<\/h2>\n<p>Northvolt, which is in a very expansive phase, will now build a factory in Borl\u00e4nge.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Since the start, Northvolt has focused on circular production, but this is the first time we will reuse an existing industrial property. The access to energy, industrial water and the region\u2019s broad industrial competence make Kvarnsveden an optimal place for a gig factory. We look forward to participating in creating this new chapter in Borl\u00e4nge\u2019s history as a global industrial hub, says Peter Carlsson, CEO and co-founder of Northvolt.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">See new opportunities<\/h2>\n<p>Shortly after the announcement that the paper mill would be closed down, Stora Enso began work to find a replacement business.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Since our decision to close the facility, we have focused on finding a new owner who can take over Stora Enso\u2019s long and sustainability-oriented heritage at Kvarnsveden and in the local community. Northvolt delivers, just like Stora Enso, modern and innovative solutions that contribute to a climate-friendly future. Through the agreement, Kvarnsveden will continue to contribute with growth, both for Northvolt and Borl\u00e4nge, says PerLyrvall, Sweden manager at Stora Enso.<\/p>\n<p>Since the announcement, the municipality has expressed its desire for a solution that benefits Borl\u00e4nge\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We would like to thank Stora Enso for protecting Borl\u00e4nge in this deal. We believe and hope that Borl\u00e4nge residents and many of those who previously worked in the paper mill see new opportunities, says Jan Bohman, chairman of the municipal board.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Expansive, comprehensive and forward-looking<\/h2>\n<p>Borl\u00e4nge\u2019s future looks very bright with new jobs and an already strong business community that is now growing further.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 It is highly probable that more companies, both within and outside the industrial industry, will be attracted here, it is a natural effect of an establishment that is so expansive, extensive and future-oriented, says Per Sj\u00f6lander, business manager in Borl\u00e4nge municipality.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Grateful for the will and commitment<\/h2>\n<p>Borl\u00e4nge municipality, together with many other actors, has assisted with knowledge and expertise during the ongoing negotiations, not least in matters concerning, for example, housing, infrastructure, educational opportunities and business contacts.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 An establishment like this gives us the opportunity to work at an even faster pace with housing, roads, railways and education in the region. It is fantastic what support there has been, both nationally, regionally and locally. I am both impressed and grateful for the will and commitment that becomes so clear in a sharp situation, says \u00c5sa Granat, municipal director in Borl\u00e4nge municipality.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Enjoy the news<\/h2>\n<p>The municipality will now continue with the work and planning that needs a little extra attention in such a large establishment.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We allow ourselves to enjoy the news today, then of course a lot of work awaits us. But I have a hard time imagining any better inspiration than this one, says \u00c5sa Granat, municipal director in Borl\u00e4nge municipality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northvolt has signed a letter of intent with Stora Enso to acquire the previously closed facility Kvarnsveden It was in April 2021 that Stora Enso announced that Kvarnsveden\u2019s paper mill would be closed.
