Vilnius, Lithuania’s vibrant capital, is a city with its eyes fixed firmly on the future – a place shaped by enthusiasm, innovation and ambition. For over thirty years, these same values have driven UAB Berlin-Chemie Menarini Baltic, now a leading name in the Baltic pharmaceutical industry.
From Florence to the Heart of the Baltics
Menarini’s Lithuanian chapter began in 1993, shortly after Alberto Sergio Aleotti’s acquisition of Berlin-Chemie. It was a bold, forward-thinking move designed to expand the Group’s footprint across Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Since then, the company has grown into a pillar of Lithuania’s healthcare landscape, carrying forward the commitment to quality, professionalism and care that has defined Menarini since its founding in Florence in 1886.
Berlin-Chemie itself dates back to 1890, when it was established in Berlin’s Adlershof district. Its heritage runs so deep that some employees today represent the fifth generation of their families to work in pharmaceuticals. In 1992, Berlin-Chemie joined the Menarini Group and took on responsibility for the pharmaceutical business in Germany and more than 30 countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
Lithuania has proved an ideal home for this journey. A land of forests, lakes and graceful cities, the country strikes a rare balance between tradition and modernity. Vilnius buzzes with creativity and technological energy — a place where art, architecture and young talent converge to create a dynamic, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Recognised worldwide for its precision laser technology and a thriving digital ecosystem, Lithuania reflects the spirit of a curious, forward-looking nation. It is precisely this spirit that has allowed Menarini to thrive here.
Today, the Lithuanian team has grown to 67 people and can look back with pride on an extraordinary trajectory: from one million euros in revenue in 1995 to over 61 million in 2025. But this growth is about more than numbers: it speaks to the enthusiasm, dedication and teamwork that have fuelled the company every step of the way.
Over the years, UAB Berlin-Chemie Menarini Baltic has secured a firm place at the top of the market, consistently ranking first or second in Lithuania’s pharmaceutical sector.
Yet behind every figure, there are people: a united, driven team ready to rise to the challenges of a constantly evolving market. The company’s greatest strength lies in collaboration, in listening, and in the close relationships it has built with the medical community — partnerships focused on improving patients’ lives every single day.
Being part of the Menarini Group means embracing a shared vision and belonging to a global family where every success is a collective achievement. The Lithuanian team takes great pride in what it has accomplished over three decades, looking to the future with the same energy, ready to keep growing and to carry the Menarini name forward in the heart of the Baltics.
