Lithuania: A more practical path to production expansion in Europe
For manufacturers facing long permitting timelines and administrative complexity, Lithuania offers a more manageable path to new production capacity, with coordinated support throughout the setup process.
For qualifying projects, Lithuania offers measures that can help reduce setup complexity and support faster project execution.
Planning and permitting procedures can be streamlined for qualifying projects, helping reduce time from project planning to implementation.
Projects anywhere in Lithuania
Projects in Free Economic Zones
Invest Lithuania, Lithuania’s government agency for foreign investment, assigns a dedicated case manager to help coordinate across the relevant institutions. This gives manufacturers one main point of contact and helps move the project forward through the required steps.
Tax incentives and priority access to reserved land plots can help reduce initial setup costs and improve project feasibility.
0% corporate tax for 20 years
Auction-free leasing of state-owned land
Accelerated territorial planning and permits
Priority access to reserved investment land plots
From what we have seen so far, Lithuania in general, and Kaunas in particular is matching our expectations. When it comes to logistics, distances to our existing plants in Germany and Switzerland as well as to customers in Central and Eastern Europe will be short resulting in efficient lead times.
