Lithuania's PET co Putoksnis set to launch EUR 3.3 mln. investment project

BC, Vilnius, 15.01.2016.Print version
Lithuania's PET pre-form and PET bottle manufacturer Putoksnis is launching a project worth over 3.3 mln. euros and is targeting a 20 % growth in sales this year, the business daily Verslo Zinios reported, writes LETA/BNS.

Alvydas Stulpinas, Putoksnis majority shareholder and chairman of the management board, says that following the acquisition of modern equipment and the launch of new types of  PET pre-forms, the Siauliai-based company will not only broaden its product range, but will also offer products that many of its competitors do not produce.

 

"We have developed a new product. It is a lightweight bottle that is quite competitive in the market. We plan to increase sales by 20 % this year," he told the paper.

 

The Lithuanian Competition Council in late December gave the green light for Stulpinas to acquire control of Putoksnis via 3 Rill, a company he indirectly controls.

 

Stulpinas purchased 33.3 % of shares from the venture capital fund LitCapital. Before the transaction, 3 Rill owned 46.8 % of shares in Putoksnis and Stulpinas himself held a 19.9 % stake.

 

LitCapital invested 1.45 mln. euros in Putoksnis under an agreement signed in 2011.

 

Putoksnis posted a net loss of 617,000 euros for 2014, on revenue of 37.66 mln. euros.
