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.

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.
