Description

Stouby Furniture is a Danish company producing furniture. In 2014, it acquired a sofa manufacturer operating in Lithuania. In 2017, the Danish company decided to concentrate all production activities in its plant in Løsning back-reshoring the sofa product line earlier manufactured in Lithuania. The main motivations for the relocation decision were: higher production quality, closeness to customers, and reduction of transportation costs and delivery times.
