Modernisation and development
Last year, over EUR 2 million were allocated for the modernisation of “MV GROUP Production” factories, and the total amount allocated for this purpose over the last five years reached more than EUR 16 million.
In 2020, more than EUR 400 thousand were invested in the modernisation of “MV GROUP Logistics”: a new warehouse management system was implemented and the logistics centre infrastructure was improved.
About EUR 340 thousand were invested in the “Bottlery” chain of stores: not only the largest new concept store in Paupys district of Vilnius and the first store in Druskininkai were opened, but also the format of the “pop-up” store in major supermarkets was tested, and an electronic shop was launched.
IT investments
ERP start
A long-term IT upgrade project was launched last year in order to replace the programme used with a new ERP business management system, and Microsoft D365 Cloud platform was chosen. 2020 was dedicated to the analysis of the key business processes. About 180 colleagues from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland participated in it.
The new possibilities of the system will enable the digitisation and optimisation of business processes, the improvement of planning and supply chain management, and the standardisation of the key data at the group level.
“MV GROUP Production” system
At the beginning of 2020, the development of new “MV Group Production” system based on LEAN production methods started. The system is designed to ensure the best quality of our products. The main goal of this project is to define methods that help to develop and produce products that provide a quality experience for our consumers.
The system should also guarantee the efficient use of resources, optimise the stages of the process, ensure work safety and work culture, and the involvement of colleagues. Balancing production flows, standardising work processes and visual management will be used to achieve these goals and identify problems.

Export development and modernisation of companies
In 2021, it is planned to pay even more attention to the modernisation and development of companies: to strengthen the group’s exports, as well as to implement infrastructure changes.
The value of the pending investments of “MV GROUP Production” will reach almost EUR 4.5 million this year. The main focus in the near future will be on “Gubernija” brewery. A new bottling line and several other modern solutions will be introduced here to help ensure the highest product quality. New projects will also be started at the “Anykščių vynas” factory, which has expanded its assortment and significantly increased its production volumes. These projects are the development of a cold cellar and the installation of a new modern laboratory.
In 2021, “MV GROUP Logistics” will continue its modernisation by implementing new operational efficiency systems. A great deal of attention will also be paid to the development of the “Bottlery” retail chain: opening of new physical stores in Lithuania and strengthening positions in the field of e-commerce not only in Lithuania but also in foreign countries.
Internal culture and employees
The main focus this year is on employees, their development, involvement, fostering the internal culture in the group of companies and the introduction of business management systems. The training project “MV GROUP Academy” intended for raising competencies and expanding the knowledge base has already been presented. Even more efficient processes, growing motivation, higher results and greater employee engagement are expected from investments in internal research and the development of own systems.
The most important values of the group are team, desire, quality, and the priority of this year is to strengthen the team, so many events and initiatives are planned for the colleagues.
