Regarding adjective position, is following correct?

from the article of an online news outlet i read this:

"A system of espionage reigned at Ikea, a french prosecutor charges

In a case riveting national attention, Ikea France is accused of

violating privacy rights by surveilling unions, employees and customers."

i got me confused was the: "Ikea France" shouldn't it be inverted like: "France Ikea"?

as it seems to mean the Ikea branch in France?

    That's the name of the branch there. If it were an adjective, it would be "French Ikea". A lot of companies do this- like tv show such as Masterchef UK.  Yes, it's about the Ikea branch in France.
