IKEA Ibérica is part of IKEA, a global home furnishing brand and the world's leading furniture retailer, which sells well-designed, functional and affordable home furnishing solutions. Founded in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad at the age of 17 in Agunnaryd, a village in the rural Swedish region of Småland, the company takes its name from the initials of its founder, the family farm of Elmtaryd and his hometown of Agunnaryd. IKEA's stated vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people, alongside a commitment to producing with care for people and the environment.
The business rests on two defining innovations. The first is flat-pack packaging: iconic flat-pack furniture and home furnishings accessible to millions of customers worldwide. The second is the self-serve warehouse store concept, which made stylish furniture broadly accessible. Today the group operates more than 450 stores across more than 50 markets, with over 10,000 employees globally, and its operations span home furnishing, furniture retail and consumer retail.
