Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania, the company operates multiple specialized production branches across Lithuania, including facilities in Kaunas, Pasvalys, Mazeikiai, and Panevezys. Pieno Zvaigzdes AB organizes its operations and portfolio into several core product segments: fresh dairy products, comprising pasteurized and extended shelf-life milk, kefir, buttermilk, fermented sour milk, sour cream, and diverse yogurt varieties; curd and cheese products, including traditional fresh curd, semi-hard cheeses, hard aged cheeses, mozzarella, processed cheeses, smoked cheese snacks, and cheese sticks; sweet dairy snacks and desserts, including glazed chocolate-covered curd bars, dessert creams, puddings, dairy drinks, and ice cream; and industrial dairy ingredients, consisting of sweet whey powder, demineralized whey powder, skimmed milk powder, milk permeate, and whey protein concentrates engineered for food manufacturing, confectionery, and specialized nutrition sectors. The company markets its consumer items under established proprietary brand names such as Dvaro, Magija, Mu, Smilga, Greta, Pasvalio Suriai, and Kauno Pienas. In addition to serving domestic retail chains, wholesale networks, and foodservice operators across Lithuania and the broader Baltic region, Pieno Zvaigzdes AB exports its products to international markets across the European Union, North America, the Middle East, and Asia. In recent operational developments, the company has executed strategic modernization and sustainability initiatives across its manufacturing plants, implementing automated packaging systems, high-efficiency processing equipment, and on-site solar photovoltaic energy installations. Furthermore, Pieno Zvaigzdes AB has expanded its value-added offering through the introduction of lactose-free, high-protein, and reduced-sugar product lines under the Magija and Dvaro brands, while scaling up its fractionation and processing capacity for high-grade whey protein derivatives to serve the growing global functional food and sports nutrition markets.
