NIBE gives notice of redundancy to 340 employees in Sweden
The start of 2024 has confirmed much weaker demand
in the European heat pump market. To properly deal with this
situation in a responsible manner, on February 16th this year we
announced that we would be introducing a plan in response that
would be aimed at reducing staff and overhead costs, particularly
within NIBE Climate Solutions in Europe.
We are now entering into negotiations to implement
these measures in order to align costs and staffing with the
current lower sales volumes, we are also looking to establish the
best possible foundations for a well-dimensioned and streamlined
organization when the market turns around. After the plan has
been implemented, the Group’s staffing in Sweden will be reduced by
approx. 340 employees, of which approx. 264 from NIBE AB and 40
from CTC AB. In the rest of European operations, negotiations
will be initiated for staffing reductions of a similar extent.
“We have long been convinced of the future growth
potential to be found in the transition to a fossil-free society
and reduced carbon dioxide emissions, and we are particularly well
positioned in this market,” comments Gerteric Lindquist, Chief
Executive Officer and Managing Director of NIBE. “This
certainly is of course an extremely difficult decision to downsize
and terminate the employment of loyal employees. But it has become
necessary due to the tough market conditions. And we are committed
to navigating the downturn in the best possible way, so that we
will be in an appropriately strong position once the market picks
up again.”
