MEXICO – Last week, the main media of the Aztec country took for granted the arrival of IKEA, more specifically to Guadalajara. All due to the publication of three notices of personnel search.

“We have an office in Mexico City since April 2017 and we are determined to bring a little bit of Sweden to Mexico. IKEA Mexico is looking for a Communication and Interior Design Manager to lead, develop and inspire the team, to increase the interest of many Mexicans in the home,” says the Ikea announcement.

The work requires an international relocation since it will be based in Guadalajara and includes regular national and international business trips. “It should be able to start at the beginning of 2019,” says the announcement.

In October of 2017, Mexico was within a list of markets that Ikea considered would enter within the next five years. Ikea entered India and Latvia that year. Mexico, along with Chile, Colombia and Peru, were the firm’s options for the first store in the region, said Torbjorn Loof, Inter Ikea’s chief executive.

And as such Falabella Group will bring the IKEA brand to Santiago, Bogota and Lima. But regarding specific details of its formal entry into the Mexican market, IKEA has refrained from giving statements.
