German REHAU establishing microduct systems production unit in Klaipeda
The REHAU group has an annual turnover of around USD 3.5 bn and is comprised
of a range of different divisions. The new production unit in Klaipeda will be
part of REHAU’s Building Solutions division, which manufactures a range of
polymer products including piping, fittings and polymer solutions for telecommunications.
The output from REHAU’s Klaipeda unit will mainly be going to wholesalers,
telecommunications companies, and municipalities in countries across Europe.
REHAU will be looking for a wide range of specialists for its Klaipeda
operations, including managers, engineers and technicians, mechanics and
electricians, administrative staff, machine operatives and warehouse staff.
Dr. Roger Schönborn, Head of Division Building Solutions, underlines:
„REHAU was considering a number of locations for its new facility across the
CEE region before settling on Klaipeda. The strong pool of qualified talent and
their professional attitude and work ethic was a major factor in REHAU’s
decision, as was the strong cost to quality ratio. In key fields, Lithuania
remains highly cost competitive for manufacturers, yet it also boasts some of
the most streamlined and business-friendly conditions in the EU.“
As Mantas Katinas, Director General of Invest Lithuania, explains, German
manufacturers are finding Lithuania’s value proposition attractive. “In recent
years, some of the largest manufacturers from Germany have established
operations here, including Continental, Hella and now REHAU. The fact that
Lithuania is trusted by such prestigious companies is a testament to the high
level of our talent, infrastructure and business environment.”
"Klaipeda FEZ always seeks flexibility and growth opportunities for
both existing and prospective clients. We believe that REHAU's case should be
of major interest to local and international commercial real estate developers
and investors as it offers a major international industrial brand as a
customer, as well as a strong business ecosystem and team here at Klaipeda FEZ
to develop this project together. We are truly happy to be able to offer this
exciting opportunity for the market: it is a success story that the strongest
local and international players can co-create together. At the same time, I
believe this project will further strengthen the image of Klaipeda FEZ as a
full-scope service provider for new and existing investors”, says Eimantas
Kiudulas, CEO of Klaipeda FEZ.
The arrival of REHAU is another success story for Klaipeda FEZ. In December
2019, the innovative constructions materials producer GRH International
established production and R&D in Klaipeda FEZ. The zone’s FlexStart
programme is designed to help manufacturers establish operations in just 3
months. The well-developed infrastructure available at Klaipeda FEZ was an
important factor in REHAU’s decision to set up operations in Lithuania.
