According to director general of AB Snaigė Mindaugas Sologubas, the increase in sales did not compensate for the rise in prices for products due to the rise in prices for raw materials.

"In the first half of this year, like many other manufacturers, we faced a shortage of raw materials and an increase in prices for them. The shortage of raw materials forced us to cancel some orders, the increase in prices increased the cost of our products to such an extent that we became uncompetitive in some markets. In order not to lose markets and customers, we worked with lower sales. Thus, the unaudited consolidated EBITDA of the company for the first half of the year reached EUR 400,000," he said.
