Tyremda — Tytuvėnai mechanical repair workshops

1964

Peat works

He started in 1964 at the Tytuvėnai peat works. The first year was assembling engines.

Then transport. Peat went by wagon from the fields to the road, then to Tytuvėnai station, and on to boiler houses in Kaunas.

A wagon was lifted high. Heat rose as the peat fell. At night the radiator had to be covered. They heated with their own peat.

Mechanic

Grass meal

From the peat works he moved into grass-meal production. He worked as a mechanic. Four units milled and dried grass. Mowers, tractors — repair never stopped.

After independence he came to the mechanical repair workshops in Tytuvėnai. He stayed.

1992

Tyremda

Tyremda, UAB was registered in 1992. Around 1994 the site was privatised.

The name comes from the work done here: Tytuvėnai mechanical repair workshops.

Beside repair, production started. Heating stoves — to Vilnius and Kaunas. Cisterns and barrels. For farms — stalls, pipework, cow stands. For villages — doors and fences. Trailers were repaired.

The work was metal: angles, sheet, welding.
