History

- Origins: The printing activities developed alongside the rapid growth of the Lietuvos rytas daily after 1990, with in-house printing capacity established to control quality, schedules, and distribution for time-critical newspaper production.
- Incorporation as UAB: The printing arm was organized as a separate limited liability company (UAB) during the 1990s–2000s as Lithuania’s media and printing markets professionalized.
- Modernization: Over the 2000s and 2010s, Lithuanian print houses generally invested in web offset presses and automated finishing; UAB „Lietuvos ryto“ spaustuvė followed the sector trend to increase color capacity and efficiency for dailies and commercial runs.
- Diversification: As print circulation declined industry-wide, the company focused more on commercial print jobs (magazines, catalogues, and retail inserts), balancing newspaper workloads with broader B2B demand.
