Viking Malt announced on August 1, 2004 that the investment project in Panevezys has been successfully concluded and malt production in the new maltings has started. At the end of July UAB Litmalt has changed its name to UAB Viking Malt.

Annual capacity of the new UAB Viking Malt will be four times greater than before and reach 60,000 tonnes of malt. The technical design of the maltings will easily enable capacity to be doubled in the near future, to 120,000 tonnes of malt per year. High-quality malting barley is available locally and the main varieties are Barke and Scarlett.
