Business Operations

Historically, the group has included companies such as UAB Šilutės baldai, UAB Klaipėdos baldai and UAB Visagino linija, among others. Production emphasizes high-volume, cost-efficient manufacturing, quality systems, and long-term retail partnerships (including the IKEA supply chain in various periods).

Real estate (SBA Urban): Through the SBA Urban platform, SBA develops, invests in, and manages commercial real estate. Landmark projects include the Green Hall business valley in Vilnius (multiple Class A office buildings) and the Urban Hub logistics/industrial park concept rolled out in Lithuanian cities (e.g., Kaunas, Šiauliai, and Vilnius). SBA Urban’s model focuses on sustainable, energy-efficient buildings, flexible tenant solutions, and professional asset management.

Textiles: SBA has been associated with AB Utenos Trikotažas (a leading knitwear and sustainable apparel producer) for extended periods; group scope and ownership stakes in the textile segment have evolved over time.

Business model: The group operates as a diversified holding: manufacturing subsidiaries drive export-oriented revenues with standardized products and lean operations; real estate assets provide development returns and recurring rental income; selective innovation and sustainability initiatives support competitiveness.

History

Early formation (1990s): SBA consolidated several Lithuanian furniture factories in the post-Soviet privatization wave, creating an integrated manufacturing cluster focused on export markets.

Expansion and modernization (2000s): Investments in modern production lines, quality systems (e.g., ISO standards), and supply chain integration strengthened SBA’s position with major international furniture retailers.

Green Hall and SBA Urban (2010s): SBA launched the Green Hall campus in Vilnius, signaling a larger push into real estate. SBA Urban was formed as a dedicated development and investment platform, later introducing the Urban Hub concept for logistics/industrial facilities across Lithuania.

International ventures and portfolio adjustments (late 2010s–2020s): SBA pursued selective international manufacturing ventures (including in neighboring markets). Geopolitical and market changes led to portfolio reassessments and exits in certain locations. The group continued to expand Urban Hub projects and upgrade manufacturing capabilities in Lithuania.
