Furniture doors are produced in the highly modern Swedwood factory in Aelmhult, 02 December 2004. Swedwood was created by IKEA in 1982 to insure a steady supply of wood and furniture parts to the fast growing company. As a privately held company Ikea manages to avoid publishing any financial results beyond its turnover, which it said was 12,8 billion euros, or 17,1 billion dollars last year, and can thus avoid much negative coverage of its earnings or business practices. Instead the company, which earlier this year was valued by Swedish financial magazine Veckans Affaerer at 400 billion kronor (60,3 billion dollars, 45 billion euros), has focused on getting the media to talk about its products and to tell the feel-good story of its found Ingvar Kamprad's meger beginning as a match salesman.
