Grigiškės paper factory was founded in 1923. Grzegorz Kurec, a mechanic, hydraulic engineer, and businessman, built the factory at the confluence of Neris and Vokė rivers. The factory started operating in 1925.

In 1936, the company began production of white cardboard, cardboard boxes, and wrapping paper. Before the war, 300 employees worked there. The factory was demolished and burned down on 12 July 1944, when the German army was retreating. It took more than a year to rebuild. From 1980 to 1985, Grigiškės factory was the biggest cellulose and paper production company in Lithuania and employed almost 3000 workers.
