Nearly a month after a rockfall and tremors halted production at Boliden's Garpenberg mine, a Hedemora-based logistics firm specializing in ore transport from the site has announced layoffs. Långdahls logistik AB is affected by the ongoing suspension of mine operations.

Following the March rockfall and subsequent tremors at Boliden's Garpenberg mine—which led to production halt, employee evacuation, and injuries—operations remain suspended. This has now impacted local supply chain businesses, including Långdahls logistik AB in Hedemora, which handles ore transport from the mine and is issuing layoffs.

SVT Nyheter Dalarna first reported the layoffs, as noted by Dala-Demokraten. The mine stoppage continues to have direct repercussions for the regional transport sector.

Details on the number of layoffs or resumption timeline for mine operations were not specified.
