Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists

What Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists does

The Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists (LPK, Lietuvos pramonininkų konfederacija) is Lithuania's largest business membership confederation, representing approximately 4,000 enterprises through a multi-tiered structure of 50 trade (sectoral) associations and 8 regional business associations. Member companies account for 41% of Lithuania's GDP and manufacturing members account for 83% of Lithuanian export output. The organization is governed by a President and 12 Vice-Presidents elected for four-year terms; Vidmantas Janulevičius has served as President since June 2020 and was re-elected in May 2024. LPK's permanent secretariat in Vilnius runs departments covering Communications, Legal, Economics, International Relations, and Projects, supported by over 100 working groups and standing committees spanning policy areas from energy to defence.

LPK generates revenue through voluntary membership fees paid by trade and regional associations, EU project grants (Horizon Europe, Horizon 2020, LIFE, Erasmus+), and modest participation fees for the annual Lithuanian Exporter of the Year nomination programme. It does not develop or sell proprietary technology products. Instead, its core activities centre on policy advocacy before Lithuanian state institutions and EU bodies, social dialogue via the National Tripartite Council, bilateral business councils with partner countries, EU project participation as a consortium partner (including the €94.728M Mission-Driven Science and Innovation programme and the Partners 4 Value Erasmus+ mobility consortium linking 100+ international organizations with Lithuanian universities), and awards programmes (Petras Vileišis Gold Medal, Lithuanian Product of the Year, Honorary Gold Badge, Knight of the Trade, Successfully Performing Enterprise).

LPK is the sole Lithuanian member of BusinessEurope and holds membership in EFFRA, Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD (BIAC), and the Europe Unlocked coalition. Its historical roots extend to 1922, and the modern organization was re-established on June 17, 1989 as the Lithuanian Association of Industrialists and reorganized into LPK on March 3, 1993. The confederation does not have equity funding, subsidiaries, or a parent company; it operates as an independent, non-political membership body whose strategic significance derives from its institutional position as the recognized voice of Lithuanian industry in domestic and EU policy arenas.
