Linas Agro Group announces €32m expansion of instant foods plant

Kauno Grūdai, a subsidiary of Linas Agro Group, has announced plans to invest €32 million in expanding its instant foods plant in Lithuania. The expansion at the Alytus, Lithuania facility is expected to double the Group’s instant food production and will provide job opportunities for an additional 250 to 300 employees. The planned capacity of the new 11,000-square-metre facility is 240 million units per year, with 120 million units of instant noodles and porridge in cups and 120 million units of instant noodles in packets. Andrius Pranckevičius, deputy chairman of the board of Linas Agro Group and CEO of Kauno Grūdai, said: “We will be building a second plant next to the existing one, but twice as big – production in Alytus will triple. We chose Alytus because of better prospects, more convenient management, and work organisation: a team of highly qualified specialists has been working here successfully for several years; we will not have to rebuild it in another city, and everything will be faster and more convenient.” Over 96% of the Group’s instant products are exported, with main export markets in the UK, Scandinavia and Southern and Western Europe. The new capacity is planned to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2024.
