LTP celebrates 30 years anniversary in Lithuania

The adventure began in the late 1980’s. It was a tough time, the textile industry was in flux, and brands were starting to look for offshoring production. We knew this was the market for us. Capacity was launched because we loved textile products and wanted to connect brands with great manufacturers in Southern Europe.

Co-founder Jon S. Knudsen reminisces:

“It was hard work setting up new operations in unfamiliar territory, but I combined my love of travel and business whilst also indulging my passion for freshwater swimming”.

Morten Østergaard and his partners started by searching for business opportunities in the Baltics and they ended up in Lithuania, introduced to local sewing and knitting factories.

Morten met Jon who was already in business in South Europe and Poland, and in 1992 they founded LTP in Lithuania.

“We were one of the first foreign companies registered in the newly independent Lithuania”

says Morten and continues:

“One of the main reasons why we chose Lithuania was because of the exceptionally talented and friendly people”.

The dream has always been to have a global operation

Today LTP is a truly global business having 12 factories in 6 countries across North America, Europe & Asia.

LTP adopted the same winning strategy from the European facility. Hiring local talent was hugely important. Our group functions and our strategic functions, including sustainability, are located in Copenhagen, Denmark.
