An amount of EUR 30,834.97 was allocated for the implementation of this project from the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union, which covered 60 percent. project costs, and thus strongly contributed to the company’s ability to participate representatively in international exhibitions. The company had to allocate only EUR 20,556.65 of its own funds for the implementation of the project.

During the project, the company successfully participated in five international exhibitions: “Interbad 2014″ (Germany, 2014), “SalonPiscine & biene-etre 2014 Paris” (France, 2014), “UK Pool & Spa Expo” (United Kingdom, 2015), “House I 2015″ (Latvia, 2015) and “AQUA-THERM 2015″ (Poland, 2015). Thanks to these exhibitions, according to the company’s director Dainius Burokas, the company has established close contacts with more than 80 potential customers from various countries around the world.
