Ballard to undergo corporate restructuring
By Luke Willetts - 7th November 2024
Canada — Ballard Power Systems Inc, a manufacturer of fuel cell systems based in Burnaby, British Columbia, announced it is set to undergo a corporate restructuring in response to delays in hydrogen infrastructure development and slower-than-expected adoption of fuel cell technology. The restructuring aims to reduce operating expenses by over 30%. Key actions include workforce reductions, rationalisation of product development programs, and cuts to capital expenditures. These measures are intended to align the company with the slower market growth while maintaining its commitments to existing customers. Ballard is expected to complete the restructuring by 2025 and will also see changes in its leadership team.
