Grigeo Paper Mill Grigiškės (Lithuania)

Weather…

The Grigeo paper mill in Grigiškės is Lithuania's oldest and most significant paper manufacturing facility, with history tracing back to 1823. Originally established as a simple mill, the site evolved into a modern industrial complex specializing in tissue paper, corrugated cardboard, and packaging solutions. The factory is strategically located between Vilnius and Kaunas on the Vokė River, whose water power was historically utilized for production. Today, Grigeo is a leader in circular economy practices, utilizing recycled waste paper as the primary raw material for many of its products. The group is listed on the Nasdaq Vilnius stock exchange and comprises several subsidiaries in pulp, paper production, and forestry. Responding to environmental challenges, the mill has invested heavily in wastewater treatment plants and sustainable energy solutions to meet EU standards. Grigeo supplies both the Baltic market and numerous countries in Northern and Central Europe with household and industrial paper products.
