On December 16, in celebration of the major holidays of the year, the Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists (LPK) invited the business community, public, political and scientific leaders to the Christmas evening of LPK.

"In recent years, not only have those challenges been piled up, but they have also been piled up. But the business survived. This year was really special for all of us - the business continued to survive, the steam locomotive that was dragging the entire economy. The majority of companies can be happy that, despite all the restrictions and closures, we have been able to preserve the markets and businesses. Others are still on their feet, but Lithuanian business has always had its backbone and has proven its vitality more than once, so I believe that many will now be able to recover as well, ”said Vidmantas Janulevičius, President of LPK.

This year, the prize for the title of industrialist and public figure Petras Vileišis was awarded to two businessmen Darius Zubas and Petras Narbutas.
D. Zubas, CEO of Linas Agro Group, Chairman of the Board of KG Group, was awarded for personal merit in business, for business development, improvement of the business environment and business culture, patronage support, and sustainability projects.

The award is also given to P. Narbutas, the founder of the NARBUTAS group of companies, for his long and purposeful work in developing Lithuanian industry and business, for his significant contribution to strengthening and mobilizing the community, for his efforts to improve his business image, and strengthening his professional reputation.

Michal Rudnickis, General Director of AB ORLEN Lietuva, was awarded the title of Profession Knight for his contribution to the development of Lithuanian business, productive work, innovation and active social activity.

"It simply came to our notice then. Business must not forget that much depends on us. The general public judges all of us from the behavior of entrepreneurs in their accounts. Let’s not forget that. Let us not forget that only our joint and focused work can bring about change. I understand that we want rapid changes, more forward-thinking politicians, quick decisions, but all this will come only through purposeful and focused action, ”V. Janulevičius wished the guests.
