Lankava

What Lankava does

Lankava (legal entity: UAB LANKAVA) is a Lithuanian multi-category retailer specializing in building materials, hardware, tools, and home and garden products. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Alytus, the company operates a dual-channel model consisting of five physical retail stores — located in Alytus, Druskininkai, Marijampolė, Simnas, and Daugai — and a nationwide e-commerce platform at lankava.lt that supports online ordering, user accounts with Facebook/Google login, wish lists, and delivery across Lithuania. The product portfolio spans 19 major categories including electrical products, construction materials, wood and metal products, fasteners, plumbing, heating and ventilation, interior finishing, paints, tools, work safety equipment, garden products, lighting, pet supplies, electronics, and furniture fittings.

The technology stack is limited to a standard e-commerce storefront with integrated catalog, cart, and inventory management connected to the physical store network; no proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or platform integrations beyond social login are evident. Lankava complements retail with value-added services including project-based bulk pricing for contractors, masonry cutting, woodworking, and equipment rental — a service layer that targets professional trade customers alongside DIY and agricultural buyers.

The business model is a distributed-volume, multi-segment retail operation serving three primary customer groups: professional builders and contractors requiring bulk construction materials, DIY homeowners undertaking renovation and repair projects, and the agricultural sector needing fencing, irrigation, and farm maintenance supplies. The company employs 51–100 staff, is privately held with no disclosed external investors or funding rounds, and is domiciled as a Lithuanian private limited company (UAB). No revenue figures, M&A activity, leadership team details, or strategic partnerships are publicly disclosed in the available data.
