| "IKEA was founded in Älmhult, Sweden by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943. Since then, we’ve gone from being a tiny mail-order company, to becoming one of the most well-known home furnishing brands in the world. Our business idea is to “offer a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them”. That phrase captures the essence of IKEA. It also captures our never ending desire to improve all aspect of our product offer – and still being able to keep on lowering our prices. |
"As part of the overall expansion plan in Southeast Asia, the arrival of IKEA Batu Kawan, the first store in the northern region will further extend convenient access to well-designed, functional and quality home furnishings at affordable prices. Together, we will work towards realising the shared IKEA vision of creating a better everyday life for the many people of Northern Malaysia,” - A Pathmalingam Arumugam, Store Manager of IKEA Batu Kawan. |
