GLEIF (LEI 549300517DEJS8P07539, checked 2026-08-24) shows Northvolt AB's registration LAPSED — consistent with bankruptcy — and no parent ever reported, consistent with its pre-bankruptcy widely-held VC/strategic cap table (no single controlling shareholder). Corrected on this pass: the dossier body previously treated Skellefteå + Saint-Basile-le-Grand disposition as a live three-way decision (Korean Tier-1 vs. Swedish-led vehicle vs. PRC-affiliated bidder). That framing is stale — Lyten (a US company, not one of the three named options) has in fact acquired or is under exclusive MoU for essentially every viable remaining asset (Cuberg, Skellefteå/Ett+Labs, Revolt Ett recycling, Drei/Heide), and Quebec's Saint-Basile-le-Grand project was declared dead by the Quebec government in Sep 2025, before this dossier's last_refreshed date. See corrections inline below and in 'What they did / what remains.'
Named counterparties identified by open-source research and written only where a primary source states the relationship — never inferred from sector or co-mention. 1 customer-side. This is a partial view: it covers the relationships we could evidence, not the company's full supply base.
BMW signed a long-term battery-cell supply contract with Northvolt in 2020 for its fifth-generation cells (Skellefteå, 100% renewable-powered); cancelled the ~EUR2bn order in June 2024 after Northvolt fell ~2 years behind schedule with high reject rates. Samsung SDI took the replacement order. BMW retained Northvolt as supplier for next-gen Neue Klasse cells at time of cancellation per this source.
Scope. Absence of a counterparty here is not evidence that none exists — most commercial sourcing is confidential and never becomes public. Rows without a share figure mean no share was disclosed, not that the relationship is small.
Every exposure is read as a buyer dependency; the top 3 are its binding chokepoints.
As a buyer, policy pressure across its consumed materials is coverage-limited.
Descriptive trend in official policy actions on this company’s materials — a policy-pressure trend, not a price or trading signal. No forward probability is implied. Direction is measured on actions we have discovered, and discovery lags events: where the recent window is too thin to support a calm reading, the row says coverage-limited instead of easing.
