The UHB group ended 2024 with an joyful and festive gathering: the guests got together at the Pilviškiai loading terminal managed by UHB Service and were presented with the progress made during the second stage of modernisation of the terminal.
In the rapidly changing terminal, in less than half a year, the storage area was expanded by another 6,000 sq. m and special attention was paid to the renovation of the logistics infrastructure. New road and railway scales, passage and passage nodes were purchased and installed. According to Andrius Ivaška, the head of UHB Service, all these upgrades serve both to increase the company’s capacities, as well as to the convenience of customers and the speed and modernisation of services: “Even more control, clarity and simplicity – after introducing new technologies and modernising processes, all loading takes place quickly and smoothly. This is especially convenient for customers, because technological capabilities now allow us to be extremely flexible, quickly respond to any order and execute it promptly.”
As the mayor of Vilkaviškis district Algirdas Neiberka said in his welcoming speech, it is worth celebrating not only the jobs being created, the growing investments in the region but also the speed and vigour of the modernisation being carried out. He also wished that the growing terminal would achieve its goals and make the district famous.
Already in the first stage of modernisation 5.6 million euros were invested in the Pilviškiai terminal and in the second stage another 2.5 million euros were added to the investment. And this is just the start: according to Kęstutis Pakalnis, the head of the UHB Group, who welcomed the guests, the total investment in the Pilviškiai terminal should reach about 15 million euros, not only modernising it but also expanding the range of services provided.
“Two years ago, having acquired this abandoned territory and envisioning many big things in it, we immediately emphasised that we are the investors who not only plan a lot but also do a lot. Therefore, today, celebrating the end of the second stage, we continue to work intensively so that in the near future we can invite everyone to the grand opening, which will mark the beginning of the largest land terminal in Lithuania, which will make the entire Vilkaviškis district famous,” – K. Pakalnis has no doubt.
