Outokumpu has completed the divestment of its remaining Long Products business in Sweden

Outokumpu announced on April 1, 2023 that it would divest its remaining Long Products business in Degerfors and Storfors, Sweden. This announcement followed the divestment of the majority of the Long Products business in the beginning of the year. Outokumpu has now completed the divestment of the remaining Long Products business in Degerfors and Storfors to Cogne Acciai Speciali.

Outokumpu has therefore exited the long products business. The company now focuses fully on its core business, stainless steel flat products and ferrochrome. Outokumpu’s plate operations in Degerfors are not affected by the divestment.

The enterprise value of the transaction is EUR 12 million and it has a positive cash impact for Outokumpu. Outokumpu books a loss of approximately EUR 30 million for the third quarter. The amount of the book loss is still subject to final consideration, closing accounts and accumulated translation difference.
