Last month Vilkyskiu Pienine announced plans to build a whey processing facility in the western city of Taurage. The firm said the project will enable it to implement one of its strategic goals to achieve a more “downstream” processing level and start “making a basket of products with higher added value” which it hopes will boost its competitiveness and improve its bottom line.
