IKEA Industry
Poland
Ingvar Kamprad often said, “IKEA was born in Poland.” Our story began in 1961, when the first order for ÖGLA chairs was placed at a factory in Radomsko – a moment that marked the start of a strong and lasting partnership. Today, Poland is one of the most important production countries in Europe. In fact, one in every five IKEA products worldwide are proudly made in Polish factories, helping us bring affordable, well-designed home furnishing to the many people.
Big impact, simple approach
At IKEA Industry Poland, we take on large-scale projects that make a real difference across the IKEA business. But even at this scale, we like to keep things simple. Our workspaces are open and down-to-earth, spaces for people who want to do great things together, away from the busy city life. It’s all part of our mission: to create high-quality furniture at the best possible price.
How we make it matters
We take care of the entire furniture-making journey – from sawmills to finished pieces. Everything from wooden glue boards to full-sale production happens in our factories. The wood we use is responsibly sourced and third-party certified. And we’re proud to produce the LISABO series – a range recognised with the prestigious Red Dot Design Award.
Big company, small-family feeling
At IKEA Industry Poland, we make furniture for families all over the world – so it makes sense that we create a family-like atmosphere for our co-workers too. People here are open, supportive, and always ready to share what they know. Just as importantly, we believe everyone should have time for themselves, their loved ones, and life outside of work.
Goleniów
Goleniów is home to our Industry Service office, responsible for managing financial affairs for IKEA companies in Poland. Next door is also where we produce pine furniture for the HEMNES and IDANÄS series, including wardrobes, chests of drawers, desks, beds, and more. These products are known for their quality and easy assembly, thanks to the smart dowel solution, making it easier and faster for customers to assemble.
Lubawa
In Lubawa we specialise in lightweight furniture, producing around 370 different items, and about 5.3 million products for IKEA each year. Lubawa is also where the award winning LISABO table is made, recognised with the Red Dot Design Award.
Orla
Two plants combine advanced technology and craftsmanship. One is a modern factory where we produce ultra-thin HDF boards (High Density Fibreboard), while the other includes a sawmill and facilities for cutting boards to size.
Resko
Operating since 1994, Resko produces around 6,000 m³ of glued solid wood board every month, which is used to make wood furniture for homes around the world. Resko runs with renewable thermal energy and works with suppliers who meet strict standards for forest management.
Stalowa Wola
Our sawmill in Stalowa Wola is one of the most technologically advanced in Poland and has the highest production capacity within IKEA Industry. The site covers 25 hectares and has a production capacity of around 240,000 m³ of logs per year. We work with raw materials that are third-party certified or closely controlled in accordance with our forest management standards. The site is partly powered with renewable energy, including electricity generated by an on-site turbine and photovoltaic panels.
Stepnica
At our small, friendly factory in Stepnica, we have been producing raw pine furniture for 30 years. We produce IVAR shelves, RAST chests of drawers, and IVAR folding tables – managing everything from drying the wet pine to packaging the finished pieces, ready to be shipped to IKEA stores worldwide.
Wielbark
Our Wielbark plant is one of the largest IKEA Industry factories in Poland, producing pine furniture sourced from the forests of north-eastern Poland. We manufacture furniture and wooden components, including the popular HEMNES and HAVSTA series, which are exported to IKEA stores worldwide.
Zbąszynek
One of the world’s largest furniture production complexes, with several factories and over 3,000 co-workers, we specialise in lightweight furniture designed to be easy and user-friendly for you to assemble at home. Key products manufactured here include KALLAX, BESTÅ, EKET, MICKE and LACK.
Manufacturing Development Centre (MDC)
Our Manufacturing Development Center (MDC) works with all IKEA Industry factories in the world, as well as external partners. We can produce any prototype with the same machines as in our factories, and we have a dedicated test lab. We work with product development (including improving existing products), material development, advanced engineering, innovation & product engineering, and product lifecycle management. We believe in design for manufacturing – and love finding better ways!
