Swedish multinational company IKEA will set up its distribution centre for online purchases in Valls, 15 kilometres north of Tarragona. The centre will not only supply the whole of the Spanish State but also Portugal and the South of France. Ikea aims to buy a 50,000 m² smallholding located next to the ‘DC 1 – Distribution centre’ which the company already has in the same industrial park. Thus, the two Ikea centres in Valls will be located in a strategic enclave, nearly at the intersection of the main highways AP7 and AP2 and equally close to Tarragona’s port. Ikea will pay 2.8 MEUR for the plot to Incasòl, the Catalan Government's subsidiary that manages public land throughout Catalonia. The new distribution centre is expected to employ more than 100 workers.

The Swedish multinational plans to open new stores in Sabadell, Tarragona and Girona. The shops will create 1200 jobs
