“Staticus Group's” 31.5 million eur investment has been granted major project status
The Ministry of Economy and Innovation has granted “Staticus Group,” a manufacturer of facade systems, the status of a major investment project. As part of the “Campus Staticus” project, valued at 31.5 million euros, the company will build an automated aluminum and glass facade manufacturing facility in Vilnius with an integrated testing laboratory and create at least 24 highly skilled jobs.
“This project demonstrates that Lithuania’s manufacturing industry is moving toward automation, digitization, and sustainability. ‘Staticus’ is not only expanding its capacity but also beginning to manufacture products in Lithuania that were previously sourced from subcontractors. Such investments strengthen the country’s export potential and create highly skilled jobs,” said Edvinas Grikšas, Minister of Economy and Innovation.
The “Campus Staticus” project encompasses several complementary areas: a new manufacturing complex with an integrated facade testing laboratory will be built, an automated production unit will be constructed, and process automation solutions and an integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) system will be implemented. The new facilities will be dedicated to the production of aluminum and glass structures, including windows, doors, glazed opening elements, and sliding structures.
One of the project’s unique aspects is a completely new product line that has never before been manufactured by “Staticus”: a latest-generation hybrid wood-aluminum (HUF) facade. This combination of materials reduces the embodied carbon footprint by up to 70 percent, meaning the product meets the increasingly stringent sustainability requirements for low-carbon facades.
In the new facade testing laboratory (testing rig), all products will be tested on-site in accordance with international CWCT, EN, and AAMA methodologies – checking the facades’ resistance to air, water, wind loads, impact, and seismic forces. This will ensure that every product meets the highest quality standards of the international market. All 24 new jobs will be filled by highly qualified professionals – including specialists and engineers in facade testing, structural modeling, automation and robotics, R&D, digital twins, BIM, and IT.
“There is rapidly growing demand in the market for large-scale facades with high security and technical requirements, designed for facilities such as hospitals, data centers, or critical infrastructure buildings. We see significant growth opportunities here. Our engineering expertise and ability to implement technically complex facade projects are already recognized in the international market, so we are now strengthening this capacity by expanding production in Lithuania. The new investments will allow us to manufacture a larger portion of our products in Lithuania and export them 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 modular facades for complex, large-scale buildings. With more than 20 years of experience, the company has offices in seven countries, and the “Staticus” Group currently employs more than 600 people. As it expands its production capacity, the company will also create new jobs for highly skilled workers.
The Group’s companies have completed more than 100 projects in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Central Europe. Current projects include the “Vista” neighborhood in London’s South Bank district (the first closed-cavity facade in the United Kingdom), “Oslo Spektrum,” and “The Whale” whale research center in Northern Norway. One of the most recent projects completed by the Group’s company in Lithuania is the “Hero” business center in Vilnius, the first building in the Baltic states to pursue WELL Gold and BREEAM Excellent certifications.
The company’s new project in Vilnius is planned to be implemented in the Metalo Street district, where “Staticus’s” headquarters and manufacturing infrastructure are already in operation. The project location was chosen due to its synergy with existing capabilities, the availability of engineering, IT, and R&D talent, and convenient international access via Vilnius Airport – a key factor for serving the laboratory’s clients and delivering prototypes. The architectural vision for “Campus Staticus” was developed by the Danish architectural firm “Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects”.
The project is scheduled to be completed in 2031. At least 90 percent of the products manufactured are expected to be exported – the company’s main clients operate in the construction markets of the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Central Europe.
“Lithuania can be proud of its strong, export-oriented engineering companies, and ‘Staticus’ is one of those that showcases Lithuanian engineering in prestigious architectural projects throughout Europe. Through this project, the company will begin manufacturing in Lithuania the products it has previously purchased from subcontractors abroad. This means not only new, highly skilled jobs but also a larger share of added value remaining in the country. When Lithuanian-owned companies choose this path, it strengthens the resilience of the country’s entire industrial sector,” says Elijus Čivilis, head of the investment promotion agency “Invest Lithuania.”
Since 2025, “Invest Lithuania” has been advising Lithuanian businesses seeking or having received “major project” status. During this period, the agency has assisted more than 80 Lithuanian-owned companies.
