“When Lithuania joined the EU, Jostra was the one from whom I learned project management as a separate discipline. Both then and now, I am amazed by the ability of Jonas and his colleagues to build close relationships with clients. This is probably because they see work not as something to be done, but as their mission. Keep rocking as it sounds well”.

Testimonials
What our clients say about us
“We met Jonas Stravinskas and his team around 2006-2007. Jostra carried out an analysis of splitting up Busturas, a passenger transport company in Šiauliai. From the very beginning of the project, we realized that the company had huge potential in terms of knowledge of economic processes, and, most importantly, a desire not just only to satisfy the client’s needs but to identify the actual pros and cons of the project. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the Jostra team was interested in how things were going after the closing and offered their assistance without pay when we faced problems”.
“For me, Jostra is 100% trust and professionalism. Whatever the project, it will always work if Jostra is with you”.
Our story
Where we were and where we are now
Since the company’s inception, we have been committed to providing our clients with the highest quality of service. We really appreciate the individuality, responsibility of our employees, partners, and clients, and their willingness to grow.
Saltoniškių g. 58
JOSTRA was started in the beautiful, colourful autumn of 1995 out of a strong desire to work and create something valuable, lasting and sustainable. In the beginning, there were four of us.
Our mission focused on two interrelated elements:
- Spiritual – to create opportunities and conditions for people to work and earn a living.
- Business – to earn profit by meeting the needs of our clients as best we can.
From the very beginning, we have been seeking to control processes rather than people, and to cultivate new leaders rather than followers; we don’t look backward, we look forward.
We are grateful to the Lithuanian Institute of Philosophy and Sociology for housing the young company in the first years of its existence.
Kareivių g. 6
Over the years, we have grown and become stronger. We found ourselves looking for new challenges, and this gave birth to our first projects abroad, and to a network of foreign partners. We met young people not all of whom are with us today, but their professional success really makes us feel happy even though they are not part of our team now.
This period of our existence has given us the understanding that respect for the client and other opinions, responsibility, and keeping one’s word are core values for us.
Verslo centras Kamanė
During this period, we became friends with COWI Baltic, a Lithuanian branch of COWI (an engineering company based in Denmark) that shared its premises with our growing team. Here we had fun working with UAB AYUS – our close colleagues and friends. Not only did we work, but also travelled, learned, and celebrated! But we needed changes.
Our motto for this remarkable period was: “Our team is a harmoniously collaborative set of partners where personalities, not mediocrities, unite with innovative companies for a common purpose, where we share success, and where we grow and develop”.
J. Tumo-Vaižganto g. 8
During one strategy session, we learned that a number of colleagues would like to work in Vilnius City Centre. We got on our bikes and found ourselves on the streets surrounding Lukiškių Square and Gediminas Avenue where we entered a different stage of our progress. Cross-border transactions were increasingly gaining ground and we became initiators and developers of some of them. Here we worked together with Success Republic, purified our identity, and built up the potential for the implementation of complex projects. The fact that our team member Raidas Griškevičius was elected Veidas Magazine’s 2015 Person of the Year really made us feel proud.
The motto for this period was: “There are no problems that cannot be solved. Every problem can be solved by pooling the expertise and knowledge of all members and partners of the organization”.
Nočios g. 15A
At the end of 2018, we moved to a new office space on Nočios Street. Here we have strengthened our presence in and assistance to Ukraine. Here we have set our vision for the future.
We change ourselves to change the world.
Our motto is: “The people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” — Steve Jobs.
We invite you to interact, cooperate with us and be part of our future vision!
