Business Operations

Main products and services:
- Hatching eggs, day-old chicks, and broilers (integrated breeding and hatchery operations)
- Fresh, chilled, and frozen chicken meat (whole birds, cuts)

Sales are made to national retail chains, HoReCa/foodservice, industrial clients, and export partners in the Baltic region and beyond.

Certifications and quality systems: Lithuanian poultry producers of this scale typically operate under HACCP-based food safety systems and maintain third-party certifications (e.g., BRC, ISO 22000/ISO 9001) for processing facilities. Specific certificates for AB Kaišiadorių paukštynas should be confirmed via the company or group disclosures.

History

- 1960s: Establishment of the Kaišiadorys poultry complex during Soviet industrial investment in agro-food capacities in Lithuania. The enterprise grew into a key regional poultry center.

- 2000s–2010s: Integration with KG Group (Kauno Grūdai group), aligning feed supply, farming, slaughtering, and processing to an integrated agri-food model. Investments in processing efficiency, waste-water treatment, and biosecurity risk controls.

- 2022–2024: Continued integration within Linas Agro Group, with operational focus on energy efficiency, cost optimization, and resilience to avian influenza and commodity market volatility.

Office Locations

Main site and registered office: Kaišiadorys, Kaišiadorių r. sav., Lithuania. Public directories frequently indicate an address on Paukštininkų g. in Kaišiadorys for the production complex. Exact street number, postal code, and contact phone should be verified against Registrų centras or the company’s official correspondence.

Market Position

Market role: AB Kaišiadorių paukštynas is recognized as one of Lithuania’s largest poultry producers, historically operating alongside AB Vilniaus paukštynas under the same group umbrella. Together, these entities have represented a significant share of Lithuania’s domestically produced chicken meat supply.

Competitors:
- Domestic: Other Lithuanian poultry and meat processors (including independent and private-label suppliers), as well as imports from Poland and other EU countries that compete on price.
- Regional: Latvian and Polish poultry integrators (e.g., Putnu Fabrika Ķekava in Latvia; multiple large Polish poultry processors) competing in the Baltic retail and foodservice channels.

Competitive advantages: Vertical integration (feed-to-fork), proximity to Baltic retail chains, established quality and food safety systems, and group synergies within Linas Agro Group (e.g., feed supply, logistics, and procurement).

Recent Developments

- 2021 acquisition: Integration into AB Linas Agro Group through the acquisition of KG Group companies, creating a larger agri-food platform across grains, feed, and poultry.
- Operational focus (2022–2024): Energy efficiency and sustainability investments (e.g., optimizing utility consumption and exploring renewables), ongoing biosecurity upgrades to mitigate avian influenza risks, and product mix adjustments to align with retail demand and export opportunities.
- Market dynamics: Navigating cost inflation in feed and energy, competition from lower-cost imports, and variable consumer demand in the Baltics and neighboring markets.
