US manufacturer INTUS Windows has announced plans to open a production hub in Šiauliai, northern Lithuania, employing up to 600 workers. Construction of the 50,000m2 plant, which will be rolled out in phases over the next few years, will begin in late 2018.
INTUS’ new facility, based in the Šiauliai Free Economic Zone (FEZ), will manufacture products for export to USA. The new plant is designed by Lithuanian architecture firm 2L Architektai.
More than 100 skilled specialists in estimating, drafting, IT and 3D modelling are currently being recruited to begin work at the facility in 2019. A further 500 jobs will be created as the plant rolls out.
While INTUS’ existing workforce consists predominantly of engineering graduates and those with a background in economics, math, or other sciences, the company is interested in hiring educated and highly motivated individuals from different backgrounds.
