Baltic Block has almost tripled its investments in research and development activities over the past year, allocating EUR 572,122 to scientific research.

We have also set up a laboratory at the company’s production facilities to research and test the quality of composite blocks on a daily basis. Our quality engineer checks the performance of the blocks for nail durability, density, moisture resistance and formaldehyde content.

Social commitment

We believe that nobody wins unless everybody wins.
We have developed our social commitment strategy to primarily support Baltic Block’s employees and their families; our future employees; and the local community of the Madona region. Priority we support: physical health, mental health and educational initiatives.
