Johnson Matthey, a global leader in sustainable technologies, has announced a significant expansion of its operations in Lithuania. The company plans to create 100 new jobs at its Global Business Services (GBS) centre in Vilnius over the next year, effectively doubling its current workforce of 140 employees. 

Since launching its Lithuanian GBS centre nearly a year ago, Johnson Matthey has focused on enhancing support services across its global operations, including finance, human resources, procurement, and IT. With this latest expansion, the company aims to further capitalize on Lithuania’s talent pool to support its global IT transformation efforts.  

According to Alexia Aling, Chief Information Officer at Johnson Matthey, the new Johnson Matthey Global Business Services positions in Lithuania will be integral to Johnson Matthey’s delivery engineering and architecture teams, with the Vilnius office playing a pivotal role in developing and implementing cutting-edge technology solutions: 

Lithuania will be key in helping us stay ahead in digital technology and meet our business objectives. We will also create an internal academy for IT training, knowledge sharing, and new ways of working, with Lithuania playing an important role in driving this venture.

Johnson Matthey credits Lithuania’s skilled talent pool with multilingual expertise and IT ecosystem with making Lithuania a perfect strategic location for global operations. Our growth is driven by diverse perspectives that inspire innovation. To build a strong talent pool for the future, we plan to work with universities to equip students with skills for a tech-focused world. 

Lithuania provides access to highly educated and technically proficient professionals, especially in IT, engineering, and finance. Their strong command of English, coupled with proficiency in other languages, supports seamless global collaboration and communication. The dynamic local tech sector also provides an advantage, making us part of a community with a strong focus on high-quality, technology-driven operations. All of this aligns perfectly with our business needs, allowing us to deliver innovative and efficient solutions to our customers.
