The MESTILLA vegetable oil processing and biodiesel production plant is based in the Klaipeda Free Economic Zone.
In 2024, the modernization project for this plant was launched, and a new facility featuring the most advanced rapeseed processing technology began construction nearby. The new plant is planned to include various proven and new odor management technologies, including two 70-meter-high chimneys. The completed project will enable the company to compete even more strongly with the major players in the biodiesel market of Northern and Western Europe.
MESTILLA uses cutting-edge technology to extract and process oil and produce biodiesel. This ensures a completely automated production process, effective energy utilization, and the smallest possible impact on the environment.
The technology used at the MESTILLA plant allows for closed-circuit waste-free production. The plant uses modern technology that saves resources, does not pollute, and also makes every effort to neutralize odors by utilizing the most advanced measures. The environment is taken care of not only by the products MESTILLA makes but also by efficient production processes, utilization of local raw materials, and other processes.
MESTILLA makes a great effort to ensure the quality of its products and the safety of its production processes as well. The technology used at the company is safe for humans. The production lines can be stopped and restarted if needed.
In 2010, MESTILLA was called the most effective chemical company in the Baltic States by Profiles International, an independent research company.
