Vilmers UAB chooses ERA Group for cost optimisation

Content

I'm going to be the URL to copy

Oslo, 24 July 2025

ERA Group is assisting Lithuanian furniture manufacturing company Vilmers UAB in analyzing costs and evaluating current solutions related to direct materials.

Since 1997, Vilmers has been dedicated to creating furniture that combines timeless design, unmatched quality, and exceptional comfort—especially with a focus on the sofa as the centrepiece of every home. Known for its Scandinavian-inspired design and handcrafted high-quality furniture, Vilmers also maintains a strong focus on sustainability and a nature-centred lifestyle.

ERA Group will be reviewing selected direct materials and, through process optimisation, collaboration, and new supplier agreements, aim to reduce both costs and environmental impact wherever possible.

According to CEO Ovidijus Jalonskis, ERA Group’s extensive expertise was a decisive factor in selecting them as a partner.

“We chose to collaborate with ERA Group based on their solid experience in our cost categories and industry. We were also presented with a professional process that offers great potential for efficiency, sustainability optimisation, and savings—without significant risk to us,” says Jalonskis.

Roger Grønset, Consultant and Partner at ERA Group, is confident that the two companies are a great match.

“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with such an exciting and leading company as Vilmers, especially given that Norway is a key market through their partnership with the furniture retail chain Bohus. In addition to seeking cost reductions, Vilmers places high importance on sustainability and environmental responsibility, and does not make decisions based solely on price. That’s a value system we take very seriously and deeply respect,” says Grønset.

The collaboration is now in its initial phase, and both parties will continue to work closely together going forward.
