NARBUTAS celebrates its 30th anniversary: pandemic didn't stop business growth

VILNIUS, Lithuania - June 28, 2021 - PRLog -- Office furniture manufacturer NARBUTAS is celebrating its 30th anniversary. While the pandemic has slowed down the fast-paced business growth of recent years, NARBUTAS hasn't stopped – with current sales already exceeding pre-lockdown level. The company is celebrating the 30-year milestone with a new factory, new furniture collections and commitments to both people and the environment.

The company was founded one year after Lithuania regained its independence, in 1991. Back then, everything, including computers, was a novelty for people. The computer desk designed by NARBUTAS was what the market needed most at the time – a high quality, functional and user-friendly piece of furniture. Striving to deliver what matters most to customers informed the direction of the company's business development.

"I realized that, just like me, our customers like functional and good quality products but don't want to pay for what they don't need. This is why we design and manufacture functional, good quality, attractive yet simple things. Our design motto is 'Nothing unnecessary'," said Petras Narbutas, founder and CEO of the NARBUTAS Group.

From its first production orders, the company has evolved and grown to become one of Europe's leading office furniture manufacturers. Having established its presence in neighbouring countries, the company currently boasts a network of 750 reliable sales partners in more than 50 countries worldwide. NARBUTAS furniture is used by such companies as BioNTech, Colgate, Volkswagen. Products and modern office furniture solutions are showcased in five showrooms located in the company's strategic export markets: Germany, the United Kingdom, France, the U.S., and Lithuania.

With the expansion of the company's export geography and the increase in sales, NARBUTAS is continuing to ramp up its production capacity. The company upgrades its equipment annually and this year it is working on increasing the area of its production plant. The investment of EUR 25 million will allow the company to increase the existing production site area by 60 percent.

The post-pandemic office will have to meet different requirements. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the holistic approach to offices with a special focus on the physical, social and mental well-being of employees. Since the start of 2020, NARBUTAS has launched or unveiled additions to 13 office furniture collections which reflect these changes in office spaces.

Concerns for the negative impact of human activities on the environment and ways to mitigate it have intensified recently. The emphasis is usually placed on the environmental friendliness of raw materials. The greatest positive impact can, however, be achieved by reducing consumption. NARBUTAS product warranties, quality, and the option of replacing individual components of furniture ensure a long service life of its furniture.
