Swedish family-owned group Stena AB, owner of Stena Line, has agreed to buy Norwegian ferry operator Color Line from Olav Nils Sunde and family. Color Line is to continue as a separate brand with local management and Norwegian-registered ships; completion needs regulatory approval, and the stock exchange notice gives neither price nor timetable (Color Group via Oslo Børs, 26 Oct 2026). — Sources: https://newsweb.oslobors.no/message/684805 · https://news.cision.com/de/stena-line-deutschland/r/stena-unterzeichnet-vereinbarung-zur-ubernahme-von-color-line,c4415356

Swedish carmaker Volvo Cars announced on 23 October 2026 that it will cut around 2,500 jobs, about 2,000 of them in Sweden, mainly in the Gothenburg area. Chief financial officer Fredrik Hansson said the reductions will come through voluntary departures and a very restrictive hiring policy. The company, majority-owned by China's Geely, reported a third-quarter loss of SEK 5.7bn and its shares fell by about 27% at one point in Stockholm (ANSA, 23 Oct 2026; second source: Jornal de Negócios, 23 Oct 2026). — Sources: https://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/economia/2026/10/23/volvo-cars-licenzia-2.500-dipendenti_d4f83e7a-57cb-4dbc-82f6-596b28eef689.html · https://www.jornaldenegocios.pt/empresas/detalhe/volvo-corta-2-500-mil-postos-de-trabalho-acoes-caem-quase-30

Dairy cooperative Arla will shut the Falbygdens Ost import and packing facility on Göteborgsvägen in Falköping in February 2027, cutting around 60 jobs; about ten remain at the Osthuset, where Swedish hard cheeses continue to mature. Arla wants to focus on operations that process its member farmers' milk; the Falbygdens dessert cheeses will be discontinued, some products move to the Castello brand and the matured classics continue under Kvibille (Arla, press release, 05.10.2026; SVT, 06.10.2026). — Sources: https://www.arla.se/om-arla/nyheter-press/2026/pressrelease/arla-fokuserar-pa-agarnas-mjolk-avvecklar-falbygdens-ost-4578301/ · https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/vast/arla-lagger-ner-falbygdens-ost-i-falkoping-60-jobb-forsvinner

Jernhusen and NTT Sverige AB, a subsidiary of Munich-based locomotive lessor Railpool, have signed a 20-year lease for Västergötland's first modern wheelset-turning facility at the Fjällbo depot in Gothenburg. The 1,100 m² hall will have a tandem lathe that machines two wheelsets at once and halves the time needed, plus brake-disc turning and de-icing for locomotives; at the same time Jernhusen is electrifying the site, which has had no traction power for 15 to 20 years. Construction is due to start by October 2026 and the hall and electrification are to be finished in the second quarter of 2028; the report gives no investment figure or new jobs, and Jernhusen plans further expansion at Fjällbo.
