Paolo Cerruti, President and CEO of Northvolt North America, denounced the acts of vandalism that took place over the weekend on Monday.
"Our team discovered this morning that homemade bombs had been placed under machinery this weekend, with the clear intention of injuring our workers and presumably slowing down our operations. The triggering devices did not work," reads a press release issued by the company.

Paolo Cerruti is scheduled to speak on the matter in a news conference Monday afternoon.
