Manufacturing is the biggest branch of business in the municipality, followed by trade, communications and care. Employment in the education and research sector is available at the
Mid-SwedenUniversity, UmeåUniversity, vocational training programmes, the municipality´s schools and at some of the larger companies in the municipality.
The biggest places of work are Örnsköldsvik municipality, the paper company M-real, the defence material manufacturer BAE Systems Hägglunds and the county council.
Örnsköldsvik is an enterprise-dense municipality and we would be delighted to have more businesses. If you run your own company or are considering starting up your own firm, the municipality´s business service agency “Företagslotsen" will help you with your contacts with various authorities.
The new Bothnia Railway is a factor of great significance both for today´s employment market and for the future. By improving the prerequisites for speedy and comfortable commuting, the employment market will expand considerably. For instance the Bothnia Railway will reduce commuting time between Umeå and Örnsköldsvik to approximately 45 minutes.
