IKEA's debut of its first Distribution Centre (DC) in Ireland marks a significant advancement in the company's goals. Employing a workforce of over 200, the company's new facility is the result of investments in six plan-and-order points, enhancements to the Ballymun store, and a collaborative effort with Tesco Ireland to offer an affordable collection service, all aimed at bringing IKEA closer to its customers across the Republic of Ireland.

This strategic move not only brings IKEA products closer to its Irish customers, but also significantly enhances product availability throughout the country.
The new facility in Dublin can accommodate up to 9 000 different product lines, covering nearly every item in the IKEA range.
IKEA anticipates it will handle over 300 000 deliveries in its first year of operation, with this figure nearly doubling to almost 600 000 within five years.
This state-of-the-art facility is also designed in favour of sustainability. It is one of the most energy-efficient logistic facilities in Ireland and will support IKEA's transition to 100% zero-emission deliveries by August 2025.
