Nando, a leading Lithuanian-owned biotechnology company known for its ground-breaking work in developing microbiological products for agriculture, that helped to save up to 50M on fertilisers, announces a significant bolstering of its management team and an ambitious expansion of its biotechnological production line. This move is set to position Nando not just as a leader in Lithuania but as a formidable player on the international stage.
In a strategic enhancement of its management team, Nando welcomes four seasoned professionals, each bringing a wealth of experience from reputable organizations. Gytis Kubilius, with a solid background in management at SEB and Citadele banks; Mindaugas Navickas, previously International Sales Manager at Teltonika Networks; Arūnas Jusas, former General Manager at Timac AGRO; and Giedrė Mockienė, who served as HR Manager at UAB Yara, are now integral parts of Nando’s leadership, aiming to spearhead ambitious development projects.
To cater to the surging demand for microbiological alternatives to mineral fertilisers and plant protection products, Nando has invested about €3 million in a unique biotechnology line. This investment boosts production volume, enhances productivity, and ensures competitive pricing to meet the escalating market demand. With a technology that is currently patent-pending, Nando exports to over 20 countries, including Great Britain, Ukraine, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Poland, Romania and beyond.
Justinas Taruška, CEO of Nando, stated, “Our main goal is to feature a highly automated biotechnological production line. This will not only elevate the agro-biotechnology sector’s value in Lithuania but also accelerate sustainable and economically viable agricultural technologies across Europe and other continents.”
The new production line is renowned for its unique microorganism purification technology, a rarity in the entire Baltic region. It promises an efficient production of stable, high-yield microbiological products in powder form, a technology with limited competition.
The inclusion of new management members, with their extensive international experience, underscores Nando’s commitment to employee development and its focus on penetrating foreign markets, including Europe, North and South America, Asian and Africa countries. This strategic move coincides with the launch of the new production line for microbiological products.
