What Ukmergės gelžbetonis does

Ukmergės gelžbetonis is a Lithuania-based industrial manufacturer, founded in 1958 in Ukmergė, operating two core business divisions: precast concrete construction elements and expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation products. The precast concrete division produces hollow-core slabs (PKU), wall panels, columns, beams, balconies, staircases, landings, and lintels for residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. The EPS division, one of the largest in Lithuania, operates five branded product lines — Termoporas (standard white EPS), Neoporas and Neoporas Plius (graphite-enhanced EPS offering up to 20% and 7% better thermal insulation respectively), Bioporas (bio-based EPS using biogas, reducing CO2 emissions by ~86% in raw material production), and Geoporas (low water-absorption EPS for soil-contact applications) — along with specialized permanent formwork systems for foundations and roof slope solutions.

The company sells across the Baltic States and Scandinavia through a network of sales representatives in all major Lithuanian cities and authorized distributors including Lemora, Spalvų sala, Bocas ir Ko, and Mimeta. It serves enterprise customers across manufacturing, real estate development, construction, and pharmaceutical end-markets (e.g., Grigeo, Lazdynėlių Vingis, Klaipėdos baseinas, Entafarma). Raw material inputs (styrene, pentane) are sourced from BASF, StyroChem, and Synthos. The company is a member of the Lithuanian Expanded Polystyrene Association (EPSA), holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, and all products carry CE marking. It also operates an EPS waste collection service as a registered waste handler, supporting a circular-economy position. Ownership is private under a joint-stock (AB) structure with no disclosed parent or external investor.

Core offering

Ukmergės gelžbetonis manufactures and sells precast reinforced concrete structural elements (hollow-core slabs, wall panels, columns, beams, balconies, staircases, and landings) and a comprehensive range of expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation products marketed under the Termoporas, Neoporas, Neoporas Plius, Bioporas, and Geoporas brands. The company supplies these physical construction and insulation materials to construction firms, developers, and industrial customers across the Baltic States and Scandinavia.

Product overview

Ukmergės gelžbetonis operates as a construction materials manufacturer with two distinct product divisions: precast concrete solutions and expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation products. The precast concrete division produces structural elements including hollow-core slabs (PKU), stair elements, balconies, columns, beams, wall panels, and lintels for residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction. The EPS insulation division offers a comprehensive range of polystyrene foam products under distinct brand names: Termoporas (standard white EPS), Neoporas (grey EPS with graphite additives for enhanced thermal insulation), Neoporas Plius (further improved graphite-enhanced EPS), Bioporas (sustainable bio-based EPS), Geoporas (low water absorption EPS for ground contact applications), and specialized formwork systems for foundations. The company also provides roof slope solutions using EPS. All products are CE marked and manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified quality management systems.

Products and services

• Termoporas Standard white expanded polystyrene insulation boards offered in multiple density grades (EPS 50, 60, 70, 70 fasadinis, 80, 100, 150, 200) for thermal insulation of building envelopes including walls, roofs, floors, and foundations.
• Neoporas Grey expanded polystyrene insulation with graphite particles that reflect and absorb infrared radiation, providing up to 20% better thermal insulation than standard EPS of the same density. Used for foundation, floor, facade, and roof insulation.
• Neoporas Plius Enhanced grey expanded polystyrene with increased graphite content, providing up to 7% better thermal insulation than standard Neoporas plates of the same density and allowing up to 7% thinner insulation layers.
• Bioporas Sustainable grey expanded polystyrene insulation manufactured using renewable bio-based raw materials (biogas from organic food waste), reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 86% in raw material production, approximately 66% in plate manufacturing, and approximately 40% over the entire 40-year lifecycle. Used for facade, roof, and floor insulation.
• Geoporas Low water-absorption greenish expanded polystyrene insulation for applications in contact with soil, including basement wall and floor insulation, manufactured using a special process.
