About Us:

The IKEA vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people.

We do this by offering a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible can afford them. We operate in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand – and have an ambitious expansion plan to bring a little bit of Sweden to new markets in the region.

We are part of the Ikano Group of companies and the only IKEA franchisee owned by the Kamprad family that founded IKEA.

We also develop, own and operate Shopping Centres that are anchored by IKEA and create walkable communities by including residential, office and other types of real estate in our development plans. We work towards making sustainability a natural part of our everyday work.

We are active in our communities, driving and supporting social initiatives that benefit children, women and the environment.
