The mining company Boliden has introduced an employment freeze at its large smelter in Rönnskär. The reason is profitability problems, writes Norran.

The Rönnskär works are located in Skellefteå and the measure is part of an action plan for 2025. Investments in a new electrolysis plant in Rönnskär, an investment of SEK 4.8 billion, are in full swing. The idea is that the plant will be commissioned next year. Boliden suffered a major fire in June 2023 in the electrolysis plant.
