The Swedish manufacturer of tail lifts, Zepro, has announced the relocation of its factory in Jämtland to Poland. All of the factory's 140 employees have received notice and will leave the company in three stages, with the final stage ending in December 2026.
The company, which is owned by Finnish company HIAB, announced its relocation plans already in mid-January 2026, but the final notice to the employees came in mid-March following trade union negotiations.
Through relocation, the parent company aims to improve efficiency and consolidate more of the Group’s manufacturing operations into a single location. HIAB already has a large proportion of its manufacturing operations in Stargard, Poland.
