Interestingly enough is not where
Ikea is located corporately , but where their products come from. Most people have the idea that most products are
Scandanavian, but most products are produced in
low cost third world nations.
Overseas suppliers of Ikea products exist in countries such as
Poland,
Thailand,
China,
Indonesia,
Philippines,
Mexico,
Canada,
India,
Costa Rica, etc., etc., etc.,
Now instead of going on a
WTO anti-free trade,
environmental tirade, I'm actually going to congratulate
Ikea on a decent business model that effectively sources products worldwide. Next time you are in the home furnishings version of
McDonald's, pick up any item and take a gander at its country of origin.
