Investor Relations

Ekornes was founded by Jens Ekornes in 1934. Today, it is Norway’s largest furniture manufacturer. Innovation, quality and the ability to adapt have always been the characteristics on which Ekornes has built its business. As early as 1946, the company started automating its manufacturing processes with the help of machines brought over from the USA. Since then, Ekornes has remained at the forefront of automation and the use of robot technology in the furniture industry. Its main factory is still located in Sykkylven, on the west coast of Norway, where more than 1,300 seat units are manufactured every day.

The company has sales offices in Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, France, the UK, the USA, China, Japan, Thailand, New Zealand and Australia. At the close of 2022, Ekornes had 3,000 employees, of whom 40 per cent were located in Norway. It is Ekornes’s stated aim to behave in a socially and environmentally responsible way in all the local communities in which we operate. The same also goes for the way we treat our own employees and customers. Ekornes has launched a wide-ranging effort to achieve a carbon-neutral supply chain by 2030.
