The group plans to complete the furniture production expansion project,
worth 46.8 million euros in total, in 2019, Lithuania's chipboard and furniture
manufacturer Ikea Industry Lietuva
says in its report for the 2016-2017 financial year filed with the Center of
Registers.
Ikea Industry Lietuva has signed an investment agreement with the Economy Ministry under which
the company committed itself to investing 15.5 million euros in the expansion
project and the ministry pledged to provide 1.44 million euros to cover
eligible costs.
The company announced the planned investment in Kazlu Ruda late September, but it gave no details as to the amount.
It then said that construction on the new facility was expected to be completed
in the summer of 2019.
Ikea Industry Lietuva posted 102.742 million euros in revenue for the financial year ended
August 31, 2017, a rise of 4% year-on-year. Its net profit dropped by 36.4% to

The Lithuanian company is 100% owned by Dutch-registered Ikea Industry Holding and its ultimate
shareholder is Dutch-registered Ingka
