Alar Karis, President of the Republic of Estonia, visited BLRT Grupp on October 20. Corporate executives gave the Head of State an overview of the group’s activities, followed by a discussion covering the market situation and prospects of the industry and the group’s coping with the high energy prices and the looming economic crisis.
The visit started with a presentation and a tour that took the Head of State through the timeline and operations of the BLRT corporate group, giving a good picture of the scale of operation of the entire corporate group. The group’s presence in Ukraine was also brought up during the visit, as Elme Messer Gaas, a BLRT Grupp’s joint venture in Ukraine, is presently virtually the only industrial and medical gas producer and supplier there to cover local needs.
There was no getting around the current labour market situation, a major issue for many industrial companies, including the BLRT Group, which still faces an acute shortage of skilled professionals.
At the end of the visit, the President wrote that he was impressed by the reach and depth of BLRT Grupp’s operations. The Head of State wished the group family continued success and good luck for the coming decades, claiming that, in his view, the achievements to date provide a solid foundation for future projects implementation.
