Panels, furniture and castings in Kazlų Rūda

For a town of about 5,400 people, Kazlų Rūda has a large freight base. A panel and furniture company runs two factories here with about 700 staff, and a 2019 renovation doubled the furniture factory’s capacity. Other firms make textiles, metal castings and heating equipment. Forest covers 56% of the municipality, so timber is a local resource too.

We carry the finished boards, flat-pack furniture parts and packaging. Resins and similar chemicals used in board making can be dangerous goods, and those we do not carry.

Via Baltica and the rail junction at Kazlų Rūda

Via Baltica crosses Kazlų Rūda municipality, and the town is 40 km from Kaunas and 31 km from Marijampolė. The town is also a rail junction on the line from Kaunas (Palemonas) to Šeštokai and Mockava, which has both Lithuanian-gauge and European-gauge track. That European-gauge track already carries freight trains between Kaunas and Western Europe.

By road, the town lies about 60 km from the Kalvarija crossing into Poland and about 144 km from Vilnius. For Klaipėda, trucks drive north to Kaunas and then on the A1.

Frequently asked questions

  1. Can you take panels or furniture parts from Kazlų Rūda to Sweden?

    Yes. Boards and flat-pack parts travel north on a curtainsider and cross from Klaipėda to Karlshamn. One of our own trucks drives if it is free. Panel loads weigh a lot, so list the packs and the weight of each one.

  2. Do you carry metal castings and heating equipment from Kazlų Rūda?

    Yes, when the pieces fit a standard curtainsider trailer. Castings weigh a lot for their volume, so the plan starts from the weight. Heating equipment in crates is planned by size. Send the crate sizes and weights with the delivery address.

  3. Can you deliver films or packaging from Germany to Kazlų Rūda?

    Yes. Partner trucks that we check carry packaging, films and fittings from German suppliers via Poland, entering Lithuania at Kalvarija. Kazlų Rūda is about 60 km past the border. Tell us the supplier, the plant gate and the delivery window.

  4. Is Kazlų Rūda on the Rail Baltica line?

    Yes, on the existing line. Kazlų Rūda has European-gauge Rail Baltica track on the line from Kaunas to Poland, and freight trains already use it. A new Rail Baltica mainline is only planned. Our trucks link rail sites with your plant by road when you need it.
