UAB Juodeliai

What UAB Juodeliai does

UAB Juodeliai is a Lithuanian manufacturer of wooden pallet blanks and components founded in 1994, operating as the flagship company of the TMV Capital Group. The company produces European-standard and non-standard pallet elements plus custom cut-to-size wood components for fencing, gardening, construction, and furniture industries, with annual lumber production capacity of 750,000 m³ and round wood processing of 1.5 million m³ across four Lithuanian production facilities (Marijampolė with two plants, Akmenynai, Jūrė, Radviliškis). It runs its operations on a zero-waste, circular-economy basis — 100% of raw material is utilized, with sawdust, wood chips, planing shavings, and bark (approximately 31,000 m³ per month) sold into biofuel (pellets, briquettes), panel-board (PB, HDF), and pulp/paper markets. The company describes its core manufacturing line as the world's fastest for short packaging elements and operates twelve ISPM 15-compliant drying chambers at the Marijampolė site.

The business is a B2B, sales-led export operation: 91% of production is shipped to 41 countries across Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa, supported by dedicated sales departments for Western Europe, Central Europe, and International markets, plus in-country representatives in Germany, Poland, and China, and recurring presence at Dubai WoodShow, Cairo WoodShow, Saudi WoodShow, and LIGNA. Primary customers are pallet and packaging manufacturers; secondary customers are construction, furniture, and biofuel buyers of wood by-products. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via direct sales contact.

The company was reorganized under the newly established UAB TMV Capital holding in 2023, alongside sister entities JTimber (raw material trading), JCargo (logistics), and TMV Competence Center (IT services). The group employs more than 700 people and reports revenue exceeding €200 million, with Juodeliai the largest contributor. The company is ranked 3rd in the LVL 500 list of Lithuania's most successful companies (2024), holds FSC Chain of Custody, FSC Regulatory Module (EUDR), SURE (EU RED II), and ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001 certifications, and has been a Top Employer in Lithuania in both 2025 and 2026.

Direct peers

• Falkenhahn AG: German manufacturer of wooden pallets, pallet collars, and customized wood packaging serving European industrial customers. Closely comparable as a dedicated pallet-component and packaging producer with B2B distribution across Europe.
• Inka Paletten GmbH: German manufacturer of compressed wood pallets (INKA presswood pallets) with significant European and international sales. Directly comparable as a pallet manufacturer competing for the same industrial packaging buyers and ISPM 15-compliant export shipments.

Others

• EPAL (European Pallet Association e.V.): International licensing body that administers the EPAL/EUR-pallet standard and audits more than 500 million licensed pallets in circulation. Highly relevant ecosystem participant — Juodeliai supplies licensed pallet blanks into the EPAL manufacturing network rather than competing with EPAL itself.

Broad incumbents

• CHEP (a Brambles company): Global pallet and container pooling leader operating across 60+ countries. Comparable as a major buyer-side force in the wooden pallet supply chain; competes with single-use pallets that Juodeliai-blank customers manufacture.
• Stora Enso Oyj: Finnish-Swedish global forest products major with sawmills, engineered wood, and packaging materials businesses. Comparable at the sawmill/lumber level and as a large European supplier into construction and packaging wood.
• Binderholz GmbH: Austrian family-owned sawmills, solid wood products, and engineered timber producer. Comparable as a large-scale Central European sawmill operator producing sawn timber, glulam, and pallet/industrial wood components.
• Hasslacher Norica Timber: Austrian sawmill group producing sawn timber, glued laminated timber, and cross-laminated timber with multiple European sites. Comparable as a regional Central European sawmill competitor with industrial wood product exposure.
• Kronospan Holdings Limited: One of the world's largest wood-based panel manufacturers with integrated sawmills and a major buyer of sawmill by-products for PB/HDF/MDF. Comparable both as a sawmill competitor and as a key end-market for Juodeliai's sawdust and chip by-products.
• Pfeifer Holding GmbH: Austrian family-owned timber group operating sawmills and producing sawn timber, glued solid timber, and pallet blocks across several European countries. Comparable as a direct Central European supplier of pallet components and industrial lumber.
