Platform Vision
We are building an international Greenfield joint venture platform for the development, production, and export of premium organic food and beverage products to the USA, South Korea, and other leading world premium markets.
Project Essence: Greenfield investment, establishing a joint venture for long-term, profitable, sustainable, organic premium food and beverage products — in embossed, ink-free, zero-plastic glass packaging — for export to the USA, South Korea, and other countries.
Each stage is a separate, majority Lithuanian-held joint venture, inviting a strategic partner-investor.
Our goal is to build, stage by stage, a sustainable, competitive, and lasting platform, where each stage of development strengthens the next and creates value for all partners.
Why Lithuania?
- Member of the European Union and NATO.
- High food safety and quality standards.
- Abundant high-quality artesian water resources.
- Strong potential for organic agricultural products.
- Strategically convenient logistics location via the Port of Klaipėda.
- Favorable investment environment in the Klaipėda Free Economic Zone.
Our Development Stages
Planned expansion is intended to be funded by the cash flow and profit generated by the first two stages, limiting reliance on new external debt.
Our Principles
- Long-term partnership.
- Premium quality.
- Organic raw materials.
- Sustainable production.
- Embossed glass packaging.
- No plastic labels.
- Highest food safety standards.
- A responsible approach to human health and the environment.
Perspective
LIHEWA Greenfield Platform is built as a long-term international platform for developing premium food and beverage projects, focused on sustainable growth, innovation, and long-term value creation for partners.

Lithuania → New York · USA · South Korea
Three Lithuanian Greenfield ventures, built on one foundation: Lithuania's clean natural resources, within the EU.
Lithuania holds some of the world's largest reserves of premium artesian water, and excellent conditions for organic apple orchards. Two active Greenfield joint ventures, plus a capital-efficient third stage — organic baby food production, built adjacent to the apple juice facility.

Investment Case — Summary
1. The strategic partner (49% equity) invests $4.0M into Stage I of the LIHEWA Greenfield platform (premium organic juice production).
2. Within 1.5 years, the JV's accumulated Stage I profit matches the initial $4.0M investment. This profit is not withdrawn — it is reinvested (together with bank financing) to launch Stages II and III, growing the partner's 49% stake in an increasingly larger asset base (see Juice Investment Teaser, Slide 3).
3. Within 5 years — with all three projects operating at conservative production and sales volumes — the strategic partner (49% equity) receives an audited, after-tax income of approximately $10.8M per year (see Juice Pitch Deck, Slide 11).
The strategic partner invests only $4.0M into Stage I. Further Stage II and III expansion is financed by the joint venture by combining accumulated operating profit with standard bank/export financing — including credit that the strategic partner may help the JV secure in the USA or South Korea — with no additional partner equity contribution.
