Which city is the headquarters of H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB?

The story behind the answer

H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.

Stockholm is the administrative and corporate center of H&M, whose roots are also Swedish. The company was founded in Västerås in 1947, but its modern headquarters are in Sweden’s capital, where central functions such as leadership, strategy, finance and brand operations are coordinated.

H&M’s headquarters should not be confused with the location of its first shop. Erling Persson opened the original Hennes store in Västerås, while Stockholm later became the company’s principal corporate base. Nor should headquarters be confused with the locations of H&M’s manufacturing partners, because the company’s garments are produced through a global supplier network rather than primarily in Sweden.

Stockholm is also associated with several other H&M Group brands and with the wider Scandinavian fashion industry, making it a significant setting for the group’s history and business operations.
