The meeting was attended by Grigeo President Gintautas Pangonis and the owner of the German company Homanit Holding GmbH, Fritz Homann.
“We are happy to have smart companies as Grigeo operating in Vilnius and attracting investors from Western Europe. We trust that this partnership will be constructive and beneficial not only for both companies, but also for the city.
