IKEA Sells Its Last Asset in Russia
The decision taken by IKEA has become known.
The owner of the Swedish brand sold the company's last asset in Russia.
According to the RBC agency, we are talking about a warehouse located in Yesipovo, near Moscow.
According to media reports, the new owner of the Swedish property is businessman Robert Uzilov.
As confirmed by Uizlov’s press service, we are talking about the distribution center that IKEA opened in 2003.
During its existence, the company's real estate has increased its area from 50 to 180 thousand square meters, which allowed the warehouse to service all stores in the territory of the Russian Federation.
Leaving Russia
Like many other European brands, the Swedish furniture manufacturer completely suspended its operations in the Russian Federation and Belarus in 2022.
Starting in 2023, IKEA gradually got rid of all its assets. The brand's factories found new owners, as well as 14 Mega shopping centers, the new owner of which was Gazprombank.
The head office, located in the Khimki Business Park, was acquired by the KLS-Khimki company.
