Group of KGC
Lithuanian group of companies started it‘s activity in 2007 and has been growing quickly ever since. Our extensive experience in the technical design of complex building envelopes allowed us to become one of the current major players in the Baltic and Scandinavian market.
Social Responsibility & Sustainability
One of the main aspects of KGC corporate responsibility is the environment. This year, KG Constructions introduced a new KPI to measure how much waste per square meter of our production produces waste. With this indicator, we will be able to see the real situation, make the necessary decisions to reduce the amount of waste generated to a minimum. What we are doing more: Lean manufacturing; half of the electricity used in production is green; using non-toxic or less-toxic substances; recycled glass in our production; re-use materials, such as production scrap or shop towels; using timber for packaging. Our subsidiary company Lignas Timber Systems constructs buildings with cross-laminated timber. Wood is the only construction material that does not have adverse effects on the environment. Because of the excellent physical and mechanical qualities of cross-laminated timber, such buildings do not harm the environment.
Support & Charity
We are determined to support various communities to generate positive and long-term results for them. We are dedicated to education, charity, improving welfare of low-income families and children with serious health conditions, support for youth initiatives and solving other daily problems that affect people and the environment. Our ambition is not only to build, design or produce, we also want to contribute to positive solutions and create additional social value. We believe that this way we can make a meaningful contribution to creating a better society.

Financial Statements
KGC Group’s consolidated turnover in 2021 amounted to 40.3 million Eur and, compared to last year, decreased by 16.5%. KG Constructions Group continued to be profitable, but consolidated net profit fell 2.2 times to 1.99 million. Eur. 2022 goal: 70 million EUR turnover. In the first half of the year, the sales revenue of the group was almost 30 million. Eur., which indicates good trends. Looking at the first half of the year, one would like parity, but the plan is that the second half of the year will be stronger.
The main project and investment of this year is the new factory and administrative building of “KG Constructions Group” in Vilnius district, Molėtu pl., Jadvygiškės. The total investment amounts to over 17 million. Eur.
The main expectations for the new complex are not only related to the increase of production capacity from 100,000 m2 to 200,000 m2 of production. Much more comfortable working conditions will help to increase the attractiveness of the company as an employer. We will also get added value from the representative side. One of the main changes that the new building will bring to the factory workers is that they will no longer have to work in two shifts. 8 production assembly lines are designed in the premises, 3 robots will cut, drill, mill profiles, which then go to the assembly lines. One of them is the first of its kind in the Baltic States and the fourth in Europe. Next to the building there is a sports field, where tennis and basketball courts are already installed, the building is equipped with a sports gym, many rest areas, sauna, canteens, and changing rooms.
The year 2022 is unique not only in terms of constantly emerging challenges that need to be managed, but also in the distribution of markets. Such large projects in Lithuania as “Artery”, “Flow”, “Skylum”, “Teltonika HQ S14” increased the share of the Lithuanian market even up to 50%. Lithuania usually accounts for about 5-15% of our order basket – the rest goes to Scandinavia.
Moreover, it is planned to sign the first contracts in the new UK market in the fourth quarter of 2022.
In 2023, it is planned to reach 85 million. EUR of sales revenue, and to implement this, it will be necessary to load the production lines of both the old and the new factory and create about 100 new jobs. We remind you that we have started 2022 with 404 employees, and in September 2022 we have 550 employees already.
