Layoff history
Weakening demand for e-paper tablets pushed reMarkable to cut around 200 jobs in April 2026, shrinking its Oslo workforce from roughly 500 to about 300. The maker also replaced its CEO. Chairman Marius Juul Mølle pointed to a tougher macroeconomic picture and global unrest, saying the company had noticed weaker demand and falling sales. Soaring memory-chip and component costs driven by AI-industry demand added pressure, as did intensifying competition from Amazon's Kindle Scribe. Philip Hess stepped down after two years as CEO, with Vegard Gullaksen Veiteberg returning to lead the company. It was the second downsizing in eight months. To ease the financial strain, reMarkable raised prices on products such as the reMarkable 2 and Paper Pro while launching the more affordable Paper Pure at $399. Severance terms were not disclosed.
Reason: Weak demand, rising component costs, and competition
