Journal bearing and seal system manufacturer Thordon Bearings has appointed Axioma servisas as its sales, service and distribution lead in Lithuania.
Axioma servisas officially joined Thordon’s authorised distributor network on 1 January 2025. The company is responsible for selling, supplying and servicing Thordon’s product portfolio of water-lubricated and grease-free bearings and seals.
The appointment is also part of Thordon Bearings’ strategy to expand to new and emerging markets.
Axioma servisas is based in Vilnius and specialised in servicing, maintaining, installing and commissioning technology solutions for companies across the Baltic’s industrial sectors.
“We have had a market presence in Estonia and Latvia for some years, but this is the first time we have an approved distributor for Lithuania, a country on the cusp of economic and technological evolution. Axioma servisas ticks all the boxes for us. The company has established a sound reputation for engineering excellence in most of the markets we serve,” said Malcolm Barratt, Thordon Bearings’ Regional Manager - Southern Europe & Gulf Med.
Barratt added that the proximity of Lithuania to Thordon’s manufacturing site in Slupsk, Poland, adds another dimension to both companies.
Lithuania continues to actively develop its maritime, manufacturing and renewable energy sectors, as part of government policy to strengthen the country’s industrial competitiveness.
“More vessels are being built and repaired in the country and there is a significant commitment to ‘Green Shipping’ in support of energy transition. Thordon’s product line fits very well with all of the developments taking place to bolster Lithuania’s environmental sustainability,” said Gintautas Gaizauskas, Director of Axioma servisas’ Commercial Department.
