Girteka Logistics once again grew by 30 percent and became the employer, boasting of largest growth in Lithuania in 2018. This demonstrates that leadership among European transport and logistics companies is not only an indicator of sustainable work and success, but also a sign of great responsibility.

Most of our initiatives are focused on educating children because investing in children is the best investment for a sustainable future.
