Together with external IKEA suppliers, we represent the IKEA production capacity. IKEA Industry is a core area of the Inter IKEA Group. We secure production capacities for growth. The aim is to create products that have great customer value, in terms of quality and price. Next to that, our ambition is to be the good example in all aspects of business and people, which includes sustainability. IKEA Industry consists of 40 production units in 10 countries: China, France, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, and the USA. We have around 19,000 co-workers. Our top five production countries are Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Portugal and Sweden. What we do We produce two types of furniture: solid wood and light-weight or board based wood. We are active within forestry, sawmills, furniture component production and furniture production, as well as product development. Our four divisions are: solid wood, flatline, boards and purchase. Solid wood Our solid wood division manufactures for example the popular HEMNES bedroom series and the IVAR storage system. Flatline PAX wardrobes, KALLAX storage units and LACK tables and wall shelves are just some examples of our lightweight products that come up high on our customers’ shopping lists. Boards This division produces high density fibre board, particle board and lightweight board. These materials are further used in our own factories. They end up in customers’ homes as lightweight furniture that is easier to handle and assemble. Purchase By bundling volumes and establishing professional partnerships with our suppliers, this division helps us make our products accessible to the many people. Sustainable IKEA Industry Our aim is to have a positive impact on the planet, save resources and produce more from less. We contribute to protect biodiversity, we use sustainable resources and reduce carbon emissions throughout our value chain. Forestry All wood used in our products must be sourced from suppliers that meet our Forestry Standards. We regularly review and audit our operations to ensure this. IKEA Industry is audited every year by an independent third party for compliance with the FSC® standard. For FSC documents related to operations in Russia, please visit IKEA Russia's website. Energy independence IKEA Industry strive towards energy independence. Either via conversion to biomass fuels, by purchasing more “green” electricity, or by running energy efficiency projects. Our goal is to have energy management at every site. We put strong emphasis on energy efficiency, and renewable heat and the so called green electricity projects and purchase strategies. Water positive by 2020 IKEA Industry has set a goal to become water positive by 2020. We want to contribute to the increased availability of clean water in the communities where we operate - beyond our own needs. We have the responsibility to act and have a positive impact on people, the local water cycle and the hydrosphere in each unit. The safety of our co-workers is our priority IKEA Industry offers safe and healthy working conditions. We work continuously to improve and develop the safety of our workplace on a long-term basis. Our safety principles are: Safety First – everything I do, I do it safely I am responsible for my own and my colleagues’ safety I always follow the safety routines Our mission IKEA Industry delivers outstanding customer value by developing production capacities where we create a unique advantage. Our industrial know-how contributes to the entire IKEA value chain. Poland is IKEA Industry’s largest production country with around 10,000 co-workers. This rest of the top five consists of Russia, Slovakia, Portugal and Sweden. From IKEA classics like IVAR solid pine wall units and LACK tables to REGISSÖR cabinets, IKEA Industry manufactures and produces wood-based IKEA furniture. Modern wood technology is an innovative construction of furniture with high strength that is very light while it looks and feels like natural solid wood. It costs less then solid wood and is equally durable. This technology has been developed in IKEA Industry in Lubawa, Poland where it is used to produce the LISABO table series. Innovations like these make our offer even more accessible to the many people.
