Novameta Joins Kaunas Žalgiris as a Partner

Novameta, a manufacturer of custom-made equipment for professional kitchens, has become a new partner of Kaunas Žalgiris basketball club. The company's products can be found around the world, from leading fast-food chains to luxury hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants.

According to Benjaminas Žemaitis, founder and Chairman of the Board of Novameta, the decision to establish the partnership was driven by the two organizations' similar approaches to work and achieving results.

“We share Žalgiris' commitment to professionalism. In our own work, we also set high standards for quality, preparation, and the contribution of every team member. Both in basketball and in manufacturing equipment for professional kitchens, it is essential that every detail serves its purpose and that the entire team works together. We are delighted to contribute to the ambitions of a team that represents Kaunas and Lithuania on the international stage and to strive for new victories together,” he says.

According to Žemaitis, the partnership with Žalgiris also provides an opportunity to strengthen the company's community and its connection with the city where it continues to grow.

“Representing Kaunas in international markets, we take pride in what we create here. We feel that same sense of pride when watching Žalgiris compete on European basketball courts. We want this partnership to give our employees more opportunities to come together, support the team, and celebrate its victories.

At the same time, it is an opportunity to introduce Lithuania to guests and partners from around the world, showcase Kaunas, and invite them to experience the unique atmosphere of Žalgiris games. We see how shared experiences help strengthen mutual trust and build long-term business relationships,” says Žemaitis.

Donatas Norkevičius, Head of Partnership Sales at Kaunas Žalgiris, also shared his thoughts on the new partnership.

“We are pleased to welcome a Kaunas-based company that operates successfully in international markets to the Žalgiris partner community. Novameta is an excellent example of how a company from Lithuania can grow successfully and compete in the global market. We believe this partnership will benefit both organizations, help create new business networking opportunities, and bring additional value to our partners and the entire Žalgiris community,” said Norkevičius.
