Edvardas Liachovičius: "In 1997, when Girteka only had one truck, I became one of the first employees here. In 2008, when Girteka had 800 colleagues, 300 trucks and EUR 50 million in annual sales, I was appointed CEO. Today, as Girteka has 23,000 colleagues, almost 10,000 trucks and EUR 2 billion in annual sales, I am privileged to start the third stage – becoming an active Girteka Group board member."
Girteka Group continues as a company fully owned by Mindaugas Raila (90%) and Edvardas Liachovičius (10%) through their family offices. (ah)
