What Marijampolės Pieno Konservai does

Marijampolės Pieno Konservai UAB is a Lithuanian dairy processor founded in 1977 and headquartered in Marijampolė, Lithuania, that manufactures canned milk, milk powder, butter, pasteurized cream, and milk concentrate for B2B buyers. The company is the only producer of canned milk in the Baltic States and describes itself as Lithuania's largest dairy exporting company, with approximately 90% of production sold into international markets across the European Union, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. Production relies on natural raw milk sourced from Lithuanian farmers, vacuum evaporation, and spray drying technologies, with monthly capacities of up to 10 million cans of canned milk, 2,350 tonnes of milk powder (including skimmed, whole, instant, and fat-filled variants), 1,500 tonnes of butter, and 3,000 tonnes of pasteurized cream at facilities in Marijampolė and a modernized milk powder plant in Kalvarija.

The business operates a sales-led, export-focused go-to-market targeting international food distributors, grocery retailers, food manufacturers, and private-label customers, with quote-based B2B pricing and no publicly disclosed price points. Customer acquisition is anchored in active participation in more than a dozen international food industry exhibitions annually (Gulfood, SIAL Paris, Anuga, SIAL China, World of Food Beijing, HOFEX, Summer Fancy Food Show, Africa's Big 7, IDF World Dairy Summit, and others). Product differentiation rests on a portfolio spanning full-cream, low-fat, fat-filled, flavoured (coffee, cacao, tiramisu), and caramelized (Dulce de Leche) condensed milk formats, with certifications including FSSC 22000, ISO 14001, Halal, and Kosher, plus SEDEX membership since 2017.

On 16 January 2026, following Competition Council clearance on 13 November 2025, Vilkyškių pieninė AB (a subsidiary of VILVI Group) completed the acquisition of 100% of MPK's shares, integrating the company into one of the largest dairy processing groups in the Baltic States (7 companies, ~1,400 employees, ~1,900 tonnes of milk processed daily). Management states that core production activities will continue unchanged, with planned increased utilization of the butter line and expanded resources for product portfolio development to capture synergies within the group structure.
