The BNI Mercury community connects those who believe in cooperation, growth, and positivity. We are delighted to welcome Lina Kontautienė, representing the Ligni Linea brand, as a new member. Her nearly decade-long career in wood processing is based on professionalism, respect for people, and a love of nature. We believe that Lina’s experience, international perspective, and positive attitude will be an important added value to our community.
Ligni Linea – a promise of naturality, comfort, and quality
The story behind the name of the brand Ligni Linea, represented by Lina, is simple but meaningful. Initially, the Lithuanian name Medžio linija (Wood Line) was intended to be registered, but it was already taken, so the Latin equivalent Ligni Linea was chosen instead. The meaning remained the same: a line of wood, reflecting the warmth, naturalness, and coziness that wood brings to every home or space.
From the very beginning, the company has focused on wood processing, and its entire philosophy is based on values – respect for nature, love for wood, and quality work. Today, Ligni Linea is not only a brand, but also a promise to the customer of naturality, durability, and reliability.
Why BNI Mercury?
Lina first learned about the BNI Mercury export club through joint events and invitations from other members. Three key reasons influenced her decision to join:
- broader opportunities to search for export partners,
- unique international cooperation teams,
- global forums and conventions that open doors to new markets.
Lina sees membership as a path to new contacts, partnerships, and personal growth.
Optimistic goals and growth together
When talking about the value she can bring to other club members, Lina first mentions optimism. According to her, positive energy inspires action, helps build strong relationships, and motivates people to overcome challenges. She describes her impression of her first month in the club very symbolically: “When you knock on the door for years, and it only opens when you join the club.”
BNI values closest to Lina’s heart
The BNI values closest to Lina’s heart are a positive attitude and “Givers Gain.” She believes that only by helping others can we achieve long-term success, because as the community grows, it nurtures each of its members.
A word of advice to future members
Lina’s philosophy of life is reflected in her favorite saying:
Whatever you do, do it with 100% love and commitment. Otherwise, no training, advice, or work will bring you any benefit or satisfaction.” She sends the following message to future BNI members: “Givers gain. Give first, then expect to receive. And most importantly, be consistent: visibility, awareness, reliability, orders.”
