The history of “Hennordic” begins in 1919 as a small repair workshop with a focus on agricultural and household appliances.
The founding of a plant for agricultural machinery manufacturing.
Expansion into new areas of manufacturing – production of valves and piston rings under the brand name “Vienybė”. This plant was the only one producing valves and piston rings in the Soviet Union. “SNOL ” also became the largest laboratory oven manufacturer in the Soviet Union.
The start of contract manufacturing business era. The first products produced for the furniture industry were exported to Western Europe and new possibilities were
established to serve other industries in metal contract manufacturing. Expertise in engineering and R&D allowed the company to introduce new products to the market, such as air blowers and household heating solutions, under the brand name
“Vienybė”.
