About Us

Metalistas LT is a Lithuanian metalworking company that has been operating successfully since the 1960s and focuses on three main areas of metalworking: cold stamping, assembly and welding, and machining.

Our Work

Metalistas is one of the oldest successfully operating metalworking groups in Lithuania. We supply clients in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Norway, Italy, Romania, Qatar, Malaysia, Honduras, South Korea and 10 other countries. Our main production base is in Panevėžys at a strategic location between Vilnius and Riga on the Via Baltica and Rail Baltica transport hub.

The company began operating in 1960 as a maker of locks and fittings. Now grown into a modern corporate group, it focuses on three areas of metal processing: contract manufacturing and engineering, production of fasteners and cold-stamped parts, and machining services. The company is 100% privately owned and has more than 130 employees. 

Metalistas’s operating strategy is based on our core strengths: long metalworking traditions, quality, a qualified team, and a convenient regional geographic location. We aim for balanced business growth, maintaining our primary specialization in the processing of sheet metal.

Clients value the high-quality products we manufacture and the outstanding services we provide. They rely on Metalistas for even the most complex of projects in the supply chains of the global shipping, energy, timber, paper, and machinery industries.
