Continental plans to invest €95 million over the next five years.

"Continental is bringing the biggest greenfield investment project in Lithuanian history," commented Lithuania's Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis. "Its decision to establish a manufacturing unit in Lithuania will have a tremendously positive impact on this industry in Lithuania. I can guarantee you that the Lithuanian government will assist the company in every way it can to ensure that operations accelerate smoothly and that local talent will embrace the opportunity to contribute to the production of innovative products that meet the highest standards of German production," Skvernelis continued.

Products of Continental's Body & Security and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems business units are to be manufactured on a production site of initially 16,000 square meters. This includes door and seat control units, gateways and intelligent glass control units as well as radar sensors for comfort functions such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and safety functions such as Emergency Brake Assist (EBA).
