Japanese company plans to build plant in Alytus

Japanese company Saisei LT is making steps to build a plant that would manufacture food supplements in Alytus after opening a medical clinic in Vilnius, the Verslo Žinios business news website reported Monday.

The factory would produce immune-boosting products intended for the European market. Currently, the products made from cow colostrum are imported from Japan.

Saisei LT was founded in Lithuania in 2018. It had plans to construct the plant in Alytus at the time, but construction was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the end, it was decided not only to build a factory but also to open a medical clinic in Vilnius, the news website said.
