The IKEA Group
The founder of IKEA, Ingvar Kamprad, wanted to create an ownership structure and an organisation that stand for independence and a long-term approach. That is why, since 1982, the IKEA Group has been owned by a foundation. In 1986 Ingvar Kamprad retired from Group Management and today acts as senior advisor to the parent company.
Stichting INGKA Foundation is the foundation that owns the IKEA Group. It is based in the Netherlands.
