Ymer technology in Ljungby has been affected by the cost increases for steel and aluminum but has not been able to raise prices themselves.
Therefore, you now need to cut staff costs.
- The wind power industry is a bit shaky right now due to all the cost increases for steel and aluminum.
Agreements may have been signed a long time ago and now those prices no longer apply and everyone is a little hesitant and things drag on.
Subcontractors to us buy steel from Russia and countries in the east, but the prices will be completely different, says site manager in Ljungby Andreas Sjöstrand.
Dip after the summer
The company has to do in the coming months, but after the summer the situation is judged to be significantly worse and therefore staff are notified now.
- We have to make August out, but then it really dips.
But wind power is the future with renewable energy, we have it low for a year ahead but hope it picks up speed later, says Andreas Sjöstrand.
Trade union negotiations have begun.
The notice of the notice was given on Wednesday.
- They received the message on Wednesday and it became a little worrying with many questions.
The message was not a huge surprise because we were transparent with what the order intake looked like, Andreas Sjöstrand concludes.
