With new backing, VILOX is scaling its global licensing operations while advancing its mission for market fairness and consumer freedom of choice.

Helsingborg, Sweden, 30 July 2025 – VILOX, the Swedish technology company transforming how furniture and flooring are assembled, announced today the closing of a high-profile investment round. Leading a group of new VILOX investors is Anders Moberg – one of the most senior figures in the IKEA sphere, currently serving on the boards of three of the highest governing bodies. Moberg is also the former global CEO of IKEA Group with additional experience from leading positions within The Home Depot International, Royal Ahold, Majid Al Futtaim Group amongst other.

Alongside Lars Ljungälv – CEO of Bergendahl & Son and former Global Head of Large Corporates & Institutions at Swedbank, as well as former Group CEO of Sparbanken Öresund – the two leaders have anchored a strategic investor group with deep experience in corporate growth, capital markets and industrial transformation. Together, they bring capital, strategic direction and global reach to support VILOX’ international expansion.

With nearly 100 granted patents, VILOX has created a tool-free, one-piece click solution that enables fast, recyclable, and intuitive assembly – first in flooring, now in furniture. After years of technology refinement and global IP protection, the company is scaling globally – offering smarter solutions, stronger licensee support and commercial terms that reflect the needs of modern manufacturers.

In addition to Moberg and Ljungälv, the investor group includes:

• Lars Kongstad – Former partner and attorney at Mannheimer Swartling Advokatbyrå AB, currently serving as a senior advisor and board member. His current board roles include Bergendahl & Son AB, Garo AB, the Nordic investment firm Aeternum Capital AS, among others.
• Stefan Lundgren, via Paginera Finance Group AB – with a track record of over 150 listings and involvement in more than 500 Nordic tech ventures through advisory and investment. Today, he invests independently through his family office.
• Daniel Koch – Active investor and advisor with hands-on experience from growth-stage industrial companies

FURNILOX^®, the company’s one-piece furniture lock system, enhances sustainability and reduce costs by eliminating excess components. It supports circular manufacturing, allows for tool-free assembly and disassembly, and integrates efficiently into high-volume production. Designed for strength, simplicity and reusability, it’s already being recognized as a likely future standard across the furniture industry.

With strong strategic backing, VILOX is expanding globally – building its team across technology, legal affairs and business development to support a growing number of licensing partnerships in Europe, North America and Asia.

“We’ve built the technology. We’ve protected it. And now we have the capital and expertise to grow – on our terms,” says Bobby Markovski, founder and CEO of VILOX.
