Ikea looking to create 1,000 new jobs with three major furniture factories

The Warmińsko-Mazurskie voivodship officially handed location proposals to the investor on Friday. Jan Musialik, general director of the Ikea Group in Poland said that the company's cooperation with authorities has been good, but said that the location of the investment is not yet determined. Realization of the investment plans depends on, among other things, access to 250,000 cubic meters of wood for the new plants. After China, Poland is the second largest supplier of goods for Ikea's worldwide network of furniture stores, producing goods valued at more than zł.3 billion annually.
