“Lithuanian business has proven that it is flexible and easily adaptable, and that it is capable not only of preserving a competitive advantage in the neighbouring markets, but also of regrouping and finding its place in the newly acquired, less known, and ever changing global markets of the Middle East, China, Russia, and Asia. Today, our business takes another step in the sphere of innovations and smart technologies that helps generate more surplus value,” says the LPK president, R. Dargis. He  underlines that Lithuanian industry, having been tempered by the Russian crisis of 1998 and the global economic recessions of 2008 and 2014, has grown stronger and has acquired a new impetus for the creation of the prosperity of its country’s business and economy.
