History
To ensure growth of production a team of highly qualified blue and white colar workers was assembled. After restructuring of the TV set production plant in 1994 UAB “Siauliu Tauro Kalvis” was found which was renamed into UAB “Kalvis” in 2007. Professional and creative employees were creating new products fit for the ever changing market. Small and large series of products made from steel was started, new technologies and machines introduced into manufacturing, new partners both in Lithuania and abroad were found. Company increased it production area, renewed machining department, sheet metal processing, welding and painting equipments.
In few years two main lines of activity became more and more important to Kalvis and were developed further. Those two lines are steel works subcontracting services and solid fuel firing heating equipment design and production. Currently Kalvis employs around 220 skilled workers, experienced designers and technologists who create and continuously improve heating equipment, design various technological equipment. Kalvis actively cooperates with Lithuanian universities.
In 2011 Kalvis installed an approved quality management system, environmental management system and safety at work management system that conform to requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14000 and OHSAS 18001 standards.
By creative use of a 50 years of experience Kalvis plans it’s future: we built a boiler testing center, expand the scope of manufactured products, increases volume of manufacturing and exports to our partners in Western, Northenr and Eastern Europe.

Boilers Testing Center
Kalvis built a Boiler testing center – laboratory with the help from the EU structural funds in 2013. Since then all solid fuel boilers manufactured by Kalvis are being tested in the new facility.
As we test our products according to fuel moisture and ash content and calorific value we determine:
- Boiler output and efficiency.
- Minimal required draught in the combustion chamber to ensure minimal and nominal output.
- Exhaust emissions.
- We perform draught, gas temperature measurements, determine concentrations of CO, CO2, O2, NOx, OGC, SO2 and solid particles in exhaust.
- We test new and improve existing fuel supply lines, deashing and exhaust cleaning as well as heat plant control system designs.
- Tests are performed with different types of fuel.
