A little history
IKEA was founded in 1943 by Swedish entrepreneur Ingvar Kamprad. Since childhood, his character was dominated by the traits of a shrewd businessman.
From the age of five he traded matches, buying them wholesale in Stockholm. True, the first buyer was his grandmother. But gradually things started to turn around. And many neighbors began to turn to the boy for goods.
When the young man turned 17, his father gave him a small amount of money. Ingvar invested them in creating the IKEA brand. At that moment, the brand was still far away.
For the first five years, the company was engaged in the mail order business of office supplies. Towards the middle of the last century, Kamprad came up with the idea of selling furniture. The first store opened in 1958. After 5 years, the company entered the international market. The first country where the company opened a store was Norway.
Currently, the company is engaged in the development of design projects, which are subsequently used to produce furniture and home accessories in different parts of the world, and directly in trade. Today the trading network includes about 330 stores in more than 40 countries around the world.
