Our support
At CIE LT Forge, we are deeply committed to the well-being of the Marijampolė community. We actively support local initiatives and are always ready to assist those facing hardship – whether by providing help in times of need or contributing to events that bring people together, such as city festivals and sports events. We’re proud to help build a city that offers a high quality of life today and a brighter future tomorrow.
We focus on different educational leadership initiatives and work closely with local schools. Our doors are always open for student visits, and we’re happy to support youth entrepreneurship projects and similar activities.
To further strengthen our community ties, we encourage our employees to volunteer by offering each team member one paid day off per year to engage in charitable or community-focused activities.
We also stand in solidarity with Ukraine in the face of brutal aggression. Our support extends to providing humanitarian aid to civilians, soldiers, and refugees affected by the war.
