Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Vilkyškiai, Lithuania, the company manages multiple specialized production facilities and subsidiaries, including AB Vilkyškių pieninė, AB Modest, AB Kelmės pieninė, and Latvia-based SIA Baltic Dairy Board. The company's core product offerings comprise hard, semi-hard, and specialty cheeses, including Gouda, Tilsit, Maasdam, Mozzarella, blue cheese, and smoked cheese varieties; fresh dairy products, such as drinking milk, kefir, sour cream, curd, butter, and glazed curd bars; and advanced dairy ingredients, including whey protein concentrate (WPC 80), whey permeate powder, sweet whey powder, milk protein concentrates, and prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). Vilkyskiu Pienine AB distributes its retail products under key brand names including Vilvi, Vilkyškių, Memel, and Kelmės, supplying retail chains, wholesalers, and industrial food manufacturers across the Baltic domestic markets and exporting to more than 50 countries throughout the European Union, Asia, North America, and the Middle East. In recent developments, the company has consolidated its international brand identity under the Vilvi Group corporate banner and executed significant multi-million-euro capital investment projects aimed at expanding production capacity and deep-processing technological capabilities. Recent strategic initiatives include the commissioning and modernization of automated cheese and whey processing facilities, the expansion of high-value prebiotic ingredient production at subsidiary SIA Baltic Dairy Board, and the implementation of energy efficiency and decarbonization programs, notably through the installation of industrial-scale on-site solar photovoltaic parks and biogas energy recovery systems across its manufacturing sites.
