What Plastena does

Plastena (UAB Plastena) is a privately held Lithuanian industrial plastics and rubber distributor and fabricator headquartered in Kaunas, operating since approximately 1993–1998 with branches in Vilnius, Klaipėda (Lithuania), and Riga (Latvia). The company supplies engineering plastics (PA, POM, PU, PET), structural plastics (PMMA, polycarbonate, PVC foam, aluminum composite panels), rubber products (livestock mats, flooring, hoses), conveyor and transmission belts, chains, sealing materials, and thermal insulation products. It serves four primary verticals — industrial/manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and advertising — with documented reach extending to Taiwan and Australia.

On the manufacturing side, Plastena operates in-house CNC turning, 3-axis CNC milling, laser cutting, thermoforming, plastic bending, 3D printing (ABS, PET, PA, PC, PPA, TPU), gasket production, custom technical parts fabrication, conveyor belt manufacturing and repair, and shaft rubberization. The firm functions as a hybrid distributor-fabricator: it sources raw materials and finished branded products from global suppliers (Continental, Röchling, Esbelt, Bando, iwis, Diamond Drives, Temac, Espirolex) while simultaneously delivering custom-manufactured parts to client specifications.

Commercially, Plastena operates a multi-channel model combining direct field sales through its four Baltic branches, an in-house e-commerce platform (e-plastena.lt) for self-serve ordering, and inside sales via dedicated departmental phone/email contacts. Pricing is unit-based with publicly listed prices on standard SKUs, promotional discounts of up to 29%, and quote-based custom manufacturing. The company reports 51–100 employees, holds EPDA and Kaunas Chamber of Commerce memberships, and is GDPR-compliant with food-contact product compliance (EU regulations 1375/2004/CE, EU-10/2011) for its EXTRUFLEX PVC strip curtain line.
