The director of global purchases at the “Inter IKEA” group, which owns the company and is responsible for the supplies, said that the demand for office furniture is “very coherent”, with many turning to work from home due to the outbreak of the Corona virus, according to Reuters..
At the same time, he indicated that supply chains are being disrupted due to the proliferation of corona in Europe and the United States, and that work stoppages and border closures are causing bottlenecks..
