The breach was discovered on Saturday evening. The company acted immediately and shut down its systems to minimize the damage.

Our IT department has been working around the clock to minimize the damage and ensure that it does not spread further, says Ann Cederwall, marketing director at Kinnarps.

In addition to Kinnarp, south of Falköping, production has been stopped at the company's factories in Jönköping and Skillingaryd.

The company's website is also down.

It is serious. We are a large employer, says Cederwall.

The incident has been reported to the police.
