Business Operations

Main products and services:
- Linen and linen-blend yarns (for knitting, weaving, and craft applications)
- Linen and linen-blend fabrics (apparel and home-textile applications)
- Finished or semi-finished linen products for B2B clients (e.g., garments, home linens) in select lines

Business model: Vertically integrated textile manufacturer focusing on flax/linen value chains—sourcing flax fibers, spinning yarns, and producing fabrics. Sales are predominantly B2B (wholesalers, brand owners, mills, craft distributors), with exports to European and overseas markets. The company’s specialization in linen positions it within niche, natural-fiber segments valued for sustainability, durability, and tactile qualities.

Market position: AB „SIŪLAS“ is recognized within Lithuania’s historic linen manufacturing cluster as a specialist in linen yarns and fabrics. While exact market share data is not publicly available, the company competes among Baltic and European linen producers and supplies international buyers in fashion, home textiles, and craft sectors.

History

- Origins: The enterprise’s roots are linked to the long-standing linen industry in northern Lithuania (Biržai region). Many Lithuanian linen factories were established in the mid‑20th century and later reorganized as joint-stock companies in the early 1990s.
- Post‑1990 transformation: Following Lithuania’s transition to a market economy, the company adopted the joint-stock (AB) form and invested in upgraded spinning and fabric capabilities aligned with Western export standards.
- Export orientation: By the 2000s, the company strengthened export channels for specialty linen yarns and fabrics and developed product diversity (linen blends, various counts, and finishes) to serve fashion and home textile markets.
