Älmhult – the heart of IKEA
This is where our culture and values were born and still develop. It is a melting pot of many different nationalities and cultures. Beside the IKEA Museum, IKEA Hotel, the IKEA store, and many other places to learn and meet, there is Aktivitetshuset, which is a meeting place and spare time facility with lots of possibilities for IKEA co-workers and their families. If you choose to commute to Älmhult, this is not a problem because the office is a stones throw from the train station, and the shuttle buses to Helsingborg leave right outside IKEA of Sweden
