What Doloop does

Doloop, legally UAB "Putokšnis" and rebranded from Putokšnis in November 2021, is a second-generation Lithuanian family-owned PET packaging manufacturer headquartered in Šiauliai. Founded in 1994, the company operates three integrated product lines on a single Šiauliai campus: PET preforms (annual capacity 2.5 billion units, manufactured on Husky and SIPA injection-molding lines), PET bottles (80 million units/year, produced via SIPA stretch-blow and NISSEI injection-stretch-blow molding), and PET rigid film (up to 8,000 tonnes/year via Luigi Bandera twin-screw co-extrusion, introduced in 2022). Technical capabilities include dosing up to 100% recycled PET, processing high-IV (0.84-0.86) resins, achieving industry-low acetaldehyde levels, and producing 3-layer A/B/A functional barrier film compliant with Petcore Europe food-safety guidelines.

The company serves enterprise beverage, food, and alcohol customers in more than 25 countries, with named clients including Coca-Cola European Partners, Coca-Cola HBC, Carlsberg, Refresco, Royal Unibrew, Olvi, Harboe, and Orkla. Approximately 90% of production is exported, with direct B2B sales, own warehousing, and logistics reach into any European country plus sea freight to North America, South Africa, and CIS markets. Revenue is generated via quote-based, multi-year B2B contracts for hardware sales (preforms, bottles, film) priced on volume, specifications, and recycled-content requirements, with technical consulting bundled into engagements.

Business operations are differentiated by an aggressive sustainability posture: 100% renewable energy (Enefit Lietuva partnership), 80% Scope 1+2 emissions reduction since 2021, 38.5% rPET content in raw material inputs, zero industrial waste to landfill, and ISO 14064-verified GHG reporting. Certifications include BRC AA (highest grade), ISO 9001/14001/14064/45001, SMETA v6.0, EcoVadis Gold (97th percentile, 2024), CDP B score, and the first SBTi-approved near-term target for an SME in Lithuania. Growth has been financed primarily through EU Structural and Regional Development Fund grants (over EUR 4M in co-financing across projects from 2016 through 2027) rather than equity capital, supporting digitalization, eco-innovation, energy efficiency, and export promotion initiatives. Disclosed 2020 revenue was EUR 46.3M with EUR 2.09M net profit; headcount stood at 189 employees as of 2024.
