Latex as a sleeping material is quite new at IKEA and we see a huge increase the last two years. The main area for Latex is South Europe even if we see a growth in North Europe and North America.
Our main assignment within the Material Area Latex is to create independence, secure quality, capacity and to reach a price advantage by concentrating the IKEA volumes.
Production localisation today is France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Czech Republic North America and China.
IKEA use three different compositions in the range.
- 100 % Synthetic
- 20 % Natural and 80% Synthetic
- 85% Natural and 15% Synthetic
We provide a great IKEA benefit through our extensive quality work including IWAY and IKEA Chemical requirements. Latex is regarded as a zero tolerance product and the demands on our suppliers are tough.
IKEA Components has today 100% market share, steered by IKEA.
