The expansion builds on the global agreement previously entered into between Freetrailer and the home furnishing retailer, and marks an important step in Freetrailer's continued scaling in the German market. With existing and upcoming rollouts, Freetrailer will exceed 800 trailers in Germany during the summer of 2026.

For large furniture and home furnishing retailers, transport is a natural part of the customer experience. Freetrailer's digital self-service solution makes it possible to offer customers a flexible transport option directly at the store, both for larger purchases and for everyday transport needs, while the trailers also create unique local brand visibility.

"At IKEA, we want to make everyday life easier for the many people. That also means helping customers get their purchases home in a simple and flexible way. Freetrailer gives our customers an accessible transport option directly at our stores," says Ingo Ronny Sellin-Wortmann, Services Experience Leader, IKEA Deutschland.

"This is an important expansion for Freetrailer in Germany. When one of the world's largest home furnishing retailers chooses to scale the solution significantly, it underlines the strength of our model. I am also pleased that the agreement gives us access to 10 major new locations in our focus region of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) in Germany," says Thomas Zeihlund, Group CEO of Freetrailer Group A/S.

North Rhine-Westphalia is one of Germany's most important retail regions, with high population density and strong opportunities to build closer local coverage.
