About the company

Operating as the group responsible for the IKEA franchise system, product range, supply, and industrial production, Inter IKEA Group focuses on its stated market and service model. It develops the IKEA concept and range, grants franchise rights, sources and distributes products, and operates manufacturing businesses. Design, product development, engineering, purchasing, logistics, digital, franchise, and industrial teams support that system. The profile is Inter IKEA Group rather than individual IKEA retail franchisees. A broad jobs landing page may mix employers, so evidence should stay within Inter IKEA Group scope.

IKEA franchiser Inter IKEA cuts 850 jobs amid rising costs and tariffs

Inter IKEA, which manages product sourcing and supplies to 13 IKEA franchisees globally, is cutting 850 jobs as part of a cost-reduction effort. The layoffs represent approximately 3% of the company's 27,500-strong workforce. The Sweden-based retailer faces challenges from reduced consumer spending, rising costs and US tariffs. The cuts include 300 positions in Sweden, particularly at Inter IKEA's main hub in Almhult, where IKEA was founded in 1943. "We need to become faster, shorten the decision-making processes, and simply concentrate our efforts on these priorities," said Inter IKEA Chief Financial Officer Henrik Elm. IKEA's largest franchisee, Ingka Group, previously announced plans to eliminate 800 office-based positions.
