„This project shows that Lithuania’s manufacturing industry is moving towards automation, digitalization, and sustainability. „Staticus“ is not only expanding its capacities but also starting to produce products in Lithuania that were previously purchased from subcontractors. Such investments strengthen the country’s export potential and create highly qualified jobs,“ said the Minister of Economy and Innovation Edvinas Grikšas.

The „Campus Staticus“ project covers several complementary areas: a new production complex with an integrated facade testing laboratory will be created, an automated production unit will be built, and process robotization solutions and an integrated resource management (ERP) system will be implemented. The new capacities will be dedicated to the production of aluminum and glass structures, including windows, doors, glazed opening elements, and sliding structures.
One distinctive aspect of the project is a completely new product group never before produced by „Staticus“ companies: the latest generation hybrid wood and aluminum facade (HUF). This material combination allows for up to a 70% reduction in embodied carbon footprint, thus the product meets the tightening sustainability requirements for low carbon footprint facades.
In the new facade testing laboratory (English testing rig), all products will be tested on-site according to international CWCT, EN, and AAMA methodologies – checking facades’ resistance to air, water, wind loads, impacts, and seismic effects. This will ensure that every product meets the highest international market quality standards. All 24 new jobs will be for highly qualified professionals – specialists and engineers in facade testing, structural modeling, automation and robotics, R&D, digital twins, BIM, and IT will be hired.
„There is rapidly growing demand in the market for large-scale facades with high safety and technical requirements, intended for objects such as hospitals, data centers, or critical infrastructure buildings. We see significant growth opportunities here. Our engineering competencies and ability to implement technically complex facade projects are already recognized in the international market, so now we are strengthening this capacity by expanding production in Lithuania. The new investments will allow a larger share of production to be made in Lithuania and exported to foreign markets, while also enabling us to take on more complex, higher-value orders,“ says Aušra Vankevičiūtė, CEO of „Staticus Group“.
„Staticus“ is one of the largest facade contractors in Europe, designing, manufacturing, installing, and maintaining unitized facades for complex large-scale buildings. The company, with over 20 years of experience, has offices in seven countries, and the „Staticus“ group currently employs more than 600 people. By expanding production capacities, the company will also create new jobs for highly qualified professionals.

The group’s companies have implemented more than 100 projects in the United Kingdom, Scandinavian, and Central European markets. Among the currently ongoing projects are the „Vista“ quarter in London’s South Bank district (the first closed cavity facade in the United Kingdom), „Oslo Spektrum“ and the whale knowledge center „The Whale“ in Northern Norway. One of the latest projects implemented by the group’s company in Lithuania is the „Hero“ business center in Vilnius, the first building in the Baltics to pursue WELL Gold and BREEAM Excellent certifications.
The new company project in Vilnius is planned to be implemented in the Metalo g. quarter, where the „Staticus“ headquarters and production infrastructure already operate. The project location was determined by synergy with existing capacities, availability of engineering, IT, and R&D talents, and convenient international accessibility via Vilnius airport, important for laboratory client service and model presentations. The architectural vision of „Campus Staticus“ was prepared by the Danish architectural firm „Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects“.
The project is planned to be completed in 2031. At least 90% of the produced products are expected to be exported – the main company clients operate in the construction markets of the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Central Europe.
„Lithuania can be proud of strong, export-oriented engineering industry companies, and „Staticus“ is one of those that present Lithuanian engineering in prestigious architectural objects across Europe. With this project, the company will start producing in Lithuania products that were previously purchased from subcontractors abroad. This means not only new highly qualified jobs but also a larger share of added value remaining in the country. When Lithuanian capital companies choose such a path, the resilience of the entire country’s industry strengthens,“ says Elijus Čivilis, head of the investment promotion agency „Invest Lithuania“.
Since 2025, „Invest Lithuania“ has been consulting Lithuanian businesses seeking or having obtained large project status. During this period, the agency has helped more than 80 Lithuanian capital companies. Consultations on submitting large project applications, project implementation, assistance in cooperation with state and municipal institutions, and taking advantage of special investment and business conditions for large projects can be requested from „Invest Lithuania“.
