In the top spot

Hornbach occupied the top spot in the DIY store section of the Swedish Quality Index. The 3 500 respondents were asked to answer 40 questions on subjects such as the quality of products and services, pricing and image. The Quality Index is one of the most noteworthy consumer studies in Sweden. Hornbach has had a presence in Sweden since 2003, with stores in Göteborg, Burlöv/Malmö and Stockholm. The company’s plans foresee operating up to ten stores in Sweden in the future, at least three of them in the capital city. Hornbach intends to invest around SEK 2.3 bn (€ 250 mio) for this purpose up to 2015.
