The textile group Utenos Trikota\u017eas (hereinafter referred to as the \u201cGroup\u201d) managed by the SBA Group has realized production orders and provided services for 8.6 million euros during the first quarter of 2022. It is 33.8% more than in the same period a year ago when the Group\u2019s sales reached 6.4 million euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Currently, Utenos Trikota\u017eas is working at full capacity. We have orders for the year ahead. However, the results of the first quarter of the year were notably affected by the rising prices of raw materials, energy, especially gas, which significantly adjusted the company’s profitability. At present, special attention is paid to the risks of price fluctuations. We adjust production pricing, identify the sensitivity of each production order to price changes, and strive for even closer cooperation with both suppliers and customers,\u201d<\/p>says Vytautas Va\u0161kys, General Manager of Utenos Trikota\u017eas.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Separately, the company Utenos Trikota\u017eas received 7.9 million euros of income during the first three months of the year. Sales revenue compared to the first quarter of 2021 increased by 2.1 million euros, that is by 35.9%. The company’s export sales revenue amounted to 84.1 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focusing on higher added value<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the head of Utenos Trikota\u017eas, the strategic focus of the company remains the largest revenue-generating custom order manufacturing activity. In the first quarter of this year, the Group exported 84 percent of its production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStrategic priorities are focused on the development of export customers focused on sustainable production. We can offer them the development of environmentally friendly innovations, which allows us to strengthen our position in global markets. In the global textile market, the growing demand for functional garments made of wool and its blends dictates the aim to increase the share of such orders, while reducing the production of simple cotton garments. We are much more advanced in this area than our competitors in other European textile companies, and we will strive to make the most out of this competitive advantage,\u201d<\/p>emphasizes V. Va\u0161kys.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In addition to Utenos Trikota\u017eas, the Utenos Trikota\u017eas Group currently owns\u00a0\u0160atrija and Mrija (Ukraine). Compared to the first quarter of the previous year, the sales of the Group’s largest sales segment – custom knitwear production – increased by 39.3 % up to 6.9 million euros. Sales of brands owned increased by 29 % up to 1.1 million euros. Sales of functional and technical clothing produced by the subsidiary \u0160atrija decreased by 3.5 %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The impact of war<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Group’s subsidiary Mrija, which operates in the Ukrainian market, is based in the west part of the country.This company provides sewing services to Utenos Trikota\u017eas, and its own external sales are insignificant. Despite the negative impact of the war on Ukraine’s political and business environment, Mrija is now operating stably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
