Jonava, a town 30 km away from the second biggest city of Lithuania, Kaunas, started developing more actively in the XIX century. The town had a vibrant community of wood specialists but the establishment of a Swedish-owned match factory in 1911 made it an industry. The son of the owner of the factory returned to the town after the First World War and continued to run the factory until the Second World War. After Lithuania became a part of the USSR in 1946, a furniture factory "Berzas" was established at the site. In 1947 it was renamed "Jonava Furniture Factory" and started producing furniture.

The name of the current factory "Baldai Jums" literally means ‘furniture for you’. It was a half of the old Jonava Furniture Factory before it was restructured in 1994. Now it is one of the most modern Lithuanian furniture producers, and employs over 400 local people. Many of the employees are of the second or third generation of artisans working at the factory.

Company contains all production cycle in one area: sawmill, drying kilns, production and finishing of products, that ensure the control of every production stage. The main focus - to value added products due to the synergies of existing capabilities.
