This autumn, Voltas IT will move to the new business center “Magnum” – one of the most unique recent real estate development projects in Kaunas. It is a top class office complex with the latest engineering solutions.

The quality of the complex, modern work culture and implemented innovations met all the requirements of Voltas IT. The smart business center will be managed by an automatic building management system (PMS) that will select the most suitable microclimate for employees. There are parking spaces for each employee’s car, prepared spaces for bicycles, as well as showers for their drivers, open terraces with benches and green plants to take a break from work.

Built in the heart of the city, the business center is a convenient location for both current and future Voltas IT employees. The variety of daily services, cultural events and catering is offered by the nearby Laisvės Alley and the Acropolis. The business center opens up to views of the picturesque Nemunas Island – in the coming years many objects of national significance will emerge here. The strategically convenient location with a developed transport structure allows easy access to all areas of the city. Bus and train stations are also nearby.

Changes inspire bold projects and open up new opportunities. They spur growth, innovation, and improvement.
