Lithuanian SBA Group’s first furniture factory in the US will be located in Davie County, North Carolina. It is expected to be operational by the end of 2025, with an initial investment of around $70 million.
Jurgita Radzevičė, Head of SBA Home, said: “We are entering the active phase of the project. We have chosen North Carolina on the East Coast for our first SBA plant in the US. The decision was driven by the strategic location of the logistics infrastructure, raw material suppliers, skilled workforce and investment-friendly conditions for global companies. We anticipate the SBA project will create over 250 highly skilled jobs and boost the region positively. We are about to start modifying the 46,000 sqm building for production”.
SBA Group, which operates five furniture factories and a logistics centre in Lithuania, has already established new company “SBA Home North Carolina” in the USA.
The building of the future factory is being modified for production, and equipment transported from Germany is being installed simultaneously. At the same time, the process of attracting employees will begin.
The SBA project in the United States is led by Ramūnas Marozas, who previously oversaw the launch project and operations of the Inno Line factory. He works alongside several specialists from SBA Home and other SBA Group companies. They are responsible for successfully implementing the project, establishing raw material supply chains, deploying business management systems, planning production, and distributing products.
