The construction of the new plant will begin in mid 2002. It will produce different corrugated cardboard products including packing material, pallets, advertising stands, etc. In four years, 200-300 new jobs will be created in the plant.
“If the Swedes plan to build a new factory in Lithuania, they consider that our market is very promising”, says Henrikas Vitkus, Prezident of “Lietuvos Tara” - one of the competitors of “AssiDoman” in Lithuania. In Europe 35 kg /per capita of corrugated cardboard are produced, whereas the figure for Lithuania is 10kg. “If the production of furniture and fish products increases, the demand for corrugated cardboard will also increase”, says Henrikas Vitkus.
“AssiDoman” is one of the biggest Swedish companies specialising in cardboard and paper production and in wood processing. The company employs 18,000 people and has an annual turnover of EUR 3 million. Its Lithuanian office now employs 70 people.
