Lithuanian furniture manufacturer SBA Home has officially opened its first U.S. factory in Mocksville, marking a historic investment exceeding $70 million, the largest Lithuanian business investment in the United States to date. The new facility is expected to create 250 highly skilled jobs while further strengthening economic ties between Lithuania and the U.S. and reinforcing the NC Carolina Core’s status as a hub for advanced manufacturing.
The launch represents a significant milestone for SBA Group, one of the largest furniture manufacturing groups in the Baltics and a partner of IKEA for more than 30 years. While the factory is currently operating one shift, recruitment for a second shift is already underway to increase production volumes for the U.S. market.
