BMI Group opens its Global Business Services Centre in Lithuania

BMI Group, Europe’s roofing and waterproofing system expert, announced its new Global Business Services (GBS) centre in Vilnius, Lithuania. The company expects to grow the centre in Lithuania by hiring over 150 specialists in the next year across Finance, HR, IT and Master Data Management.

With over 200 years of industrial heritage and experience, BMI Group brings together some of the industry’s most trusted brands, and is Europe’s largest manufacturer in the combined flat and pitched roofing market, with a significant presence in parts of Africa and Asia. The new team in Lithuania will be providing global business services to BMI Group teams across the world.

BMI Group is part of Standard Industries, which is a privately-held global industrial company with an ecosystem that spans holdings, technologies and investments as well as world-class building solutions, performance materials, real estate and next-generation solar technology. BMI Group aims to provide innovative active roof solutions from materials that absorb pollution to green roofs that provide gardens in urban environments.

We chose Lithuania as the site of the new centre due to its multilingual talent pool, its high score in the World Bank’s ‘Ease of Doing Business’ ranking, and its range of digital competencies. All of these factors and more made Lithuania the best fit for our company’s continued growth, and we are excited to begin our work at the new GBS centre, says Arunas Linge, BMI Group’s newly appointed Head of Global Business Services.

According to Linge, the new GBS centre in Vilnius is a strategic investment, building capability to enable BMI’s growth ambitions while also bringing more efficiency, excellence, and providing world class customer experience.

BMI is Europe’s largest manufacturer in the combined flat and pitched roofing market and its industrial heritage dates back to 1740. The company has around 9,800 employees worldwide, sales operations in 40+ countries, 116 manufacturing facilities across the globe and wholly owned Research & Development facilities in 4 countries.
