IKEA Industry

Sweden

IKEA Industry Sweden combines innovation with a strong tradition of craftsmanship. Across our three locations – Hultsfred, Älmhult and Malmö – we bring together local expertise and global collaboration to strengthen IKEA Industry. With a long history in Swedish manufacturing, we continue to create affordable, well-designed furniture for homes around the world.

Boards, shelves and wardrobes for every size and style

IKEA Industry is known for its smart, efficient operations that produce particle boards. Within this network, our Swedish facilities play a vital role by manufacturing the PAX wardrobe system and KOMPLEMENT shelves. These facilities stand out for their advanced automation and streamlined processes, ensuring low costs and high quality.

  • Sustainability? Naturally

    All our products and furniture are made from wood, a renewable and natural resource. We are committed to using this material responsibly and to continuously improving our processes to minimise environmental impact. Through sustainable forestry, efficient production methods, and smart use of resources, we strive to make better products for both people and the planet.

Where to find us

Here’s where IKEA Industry operates in Sweden.

Hultsfred

Hultsfred, a small town in southern Sweden, hosts one of IKEA Industry’s largest production sites. Located just two hours from Älmhult, the birthplace of IKEA, Hultsfred produces particle boards for PAX wardrobes and KOMPLEMENT shelves. Surrounded by forests and lakes, it is a place where Swedish craftsmanship meets modern manufacturing.

Älmhult

Located at the heart of the IKEA headquarters, IKEA Industry Älmhult manufactures pigmented kitchen and wardrobe fronts, including VEDDINGE and STENSUND. The facility boasts a cutting-edge soft-roller combi line for painting fronts, which dramatically reduces waste and, in turn, climate impact. The factory covers an area of 34,000 square-metres and employs around 200 co-workers.
