IKEA Ireland is opening its first ever logistics facility in Ireland today.

The distribution centre in Rathcoole, Co Dublin, is double the size of Croke Park and is capable of housing up to 9,000 different product lines.

Before now, IKEA deliveries to Irish consumers required dispatch from the UK. The opening of the distribution centre will reduce delivery times to three days. "It marks a key step in our ambitious expansion plans across Ireland. We remain committed to – and are continually investing in – the future of our physical store in Dublin, but we want people to enjoy the IKEA experience no matter where they choose to engage with us, whether through our full-size store, plan and order points, or online.

IKEA is also transitioning to exclusive zero emission home deliveries, which together with locating the distribution centre closer to its customers, will result in significant reduction in CO2 emissions and more sustainable deliveries. As of now, two zero emission vehicles will be based in Cork, two in Athlone, four at the Ballymun store, and nine at the new distribution centre.
