The relocation of production equipment from Canada to Mexico will begin in the 3Q25 and the consolidation will be completed by the 1Q27, when the production in Langley will be closed. Around 65 employees will be affected and Epiroc will have restructuring costs of approximately MSEK 70 (excluding tax impacts) in 2Q25.

Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President and CEO, says:

“We regret that this move will affect our appreciated colleagues in Langley. This action is, however, necessary to optimise how we serve our customers throughout the Americas, while keeping Epiroc strong and agile for the future.”

Martin Hjerpe, President of Epiroc’s Tools division, says:

“The consolidation will create better and more sustainable conditions for Epiroc to maintain and strengthen its presence throughout the Americas, without compromising on the quality or availability of the products.”
