UHB Group has acquired 75 percent of UAB Agronovus, a company operating in Širvintos district, and is launching a new development project under the name of UAB UHB Bag and the production is being transferred to Pilviškiai (Vilkaviškis district), where one of the most modern big-bag factories in Europe will be established.
It’s planned that the majority of UAB UHB Bag’s production – about 90 percent – will be allocated to sales, in cooperation with fertiliser manufacturers and other industry partners in Europe and beyond. The rest will meet the needs of the UHB Group itself, ensuring an uninterrupted fertiliser packaging chain.
Work in Pilviškiai is planned to begin in mid-June, and the factory should reach full capacity in July. The project is based on the experience gained at the Samarkand NPK plant in Uzbekistan, which has already implemented a modern factory within a factory concept – from polypropylene fabric production to the final product.
The new line in Pilviškiai will be even more modern and efficient. It is important to note that all produced big-bags will be fully recyclable, thus contributing to a more sustainable industry.
“The most important things in the market today are speed and quality. Our decision to produce big-bags ourselves not only allows us to ensure uninterrupted supply to existing customers, but also opens the door to a wider European industrial market,” notes Kęstutis Pakalnis, Chairman of the Board of UHB Group.
