Histrory

To unite Lithuanian companies engaged in log house/building production and construction, the "Lithuanian Log House Manufacturers Association" was established in 2005. Eight founding companies participated in the creation of the association. Later, the association brought together a significant number of companies, and by 2007, their number had grown to nearly thirty.

Initially, technical requirements were being drafted collectively. The association’s director had to represent the organization at the Lithuanian Standards Department, participating in the preparation, improvement, and legalization of the log house standard. It was stated that everything was proceeding according to plan, with the standard being discussed and coordinated in working groups. Later, it was claimed that the standard had been officially legalized. Certificates were even issued, which companies displayed in prominent locations, believing this gave them an advantage over others. In 2008, the association changed its name. Gradually, the true intentions of the association’s leadership and the related actions began to emerge. All companies, unaware, trusted every word of the director personally appointed by the association. Over time, it was suggested that the national standard for log house constructions was unnecessary and would cause more harm to the members than benefit. During one of the meetings, company leaders tried to explain the necessity of such a standard. However, the association’s director, using only a few members as support, effectively “closed off” this existing issue. Publicly, it was stated that the standard was unnecessary.

Gradually, the number of members began to decline. The majority of the founding companies and others, disagreeing with the actions of the association’s leadership after the name change, either suspended their membership or withdrew from the association entirely.

The companies that, from the very beginning, actively participated in the association’s activities and were directly involved in the development of the national standard are currently somewhat misled and deceived. We believe that over time, they will make the right decision regarding the necessity of such a standard and will join the members of the “Log House Manufacturers Association” who are striving to formalize the standard at the national level.

Currently, in the association founded in 2005, the majority of the founding members are no longer part of it.

Therefore, in order to continue the work that had been started, in 2013 the “Lithuanian Log Homes Manufacturers Association” was re-established under its current name and resumed its activities, aiming to unite and represent all Lithuanian companies engaged exclusively in the production and construction of log homes (buildings).
