We know what work looks like from the inside.
IZOTOP was founded in Marijampolė, an industrial town in south-west Lithuania, from a simple observation: German companies lack people who come and work. In Lithuania there are many good people who want to get stuck in – in production, in the warehouse, on site – but do not want to fight their way through bureaucracy. In between, someone both sides could trust was missing.
We have been doing this for six years. In that time more than 1000 skilled workers have found work through us – in production halls, warehouses and on construction sites in Germany and beyond.

Fewer words, more work.
We do not talk about “synergies” and “solutions”. We talk about how many people you need, from when and for what work. Within one working day we send an offer with a price. 5 to 10 working days after your confirmation the workers are at your site – with papers, workwear and a contact who has your foreman’s number.
If someone does not fit, we replace them within three working days. No surcharge and no long conversations.
What we take care of for you
Selection, employment contracts, A1 certificates, posting documents, wages – social contributions in Lithuania, wage tax –, accommodation, travel, workwear and protective equipment, a contact for your foreman. You get staff and one invoice a month for the hours worked.
How we select people.
We know a CV doesn’t drive a forklift or get through a night shift. That is why every worker we present has three stages behind them.
1Interview with people from the trade
Not “tell us about yourself”, but: which machines, which warehouse systems, which shifts, which output? Anyone without the answers does not have the experience.
2Documents
Certificates for range and validity, operator licences, references, ID. We call references from previous employers.
3Work sample
Forklift drivers do a test drive, order pickers work with the scanner, production workers measure and assemble to instructions, fitters to drawings, welders weld. At our site, before they travel anywhere.
Anyone who fails is not presented. That costs us time – and saves you some. It is also the reason we can promise replacement in 3 working days: we have tested people, not just a database.
Why Lithuania.
Three reasons that have nothing to do with patriotism.
- Legally simpleLithuania has been an EU member since 2004; full freedom of movement for workers has applied since 1 May 2011. Our workers are EU citizens and need no work permit, no visa, no priority check in Germany. Social security runs via the A1 certificate – a procedure that has been established for years. For you this means: no waiting for authorities, an established procedure with clear rules.
- Industrially experiencedLithuania has a long industrial tradition – wood and furniture, food processing, metalworking and mechanical engineering, shipbuilding in Klaipėda – and a strong transport and logistics sector. Many of our workers have already worked in Germany, Scandinavia or the Netherlands and know Western European standards, safety rules and quality expectations. Besides Lithuanian most speak Russian, many English, some German – and our site leads speak German or English.
- CloseFrom Marijampolė to the Ruhr area is around 1,300 km – a day’s drive by minibus; the team arrives the evening before. That is why we can bring teams by minibus, provide replacement in three working days and come by ourselves if needed.
The figures show the need is there: according to the DIHK skilled-labour report 2025/2026, 36 percent of German companies cannot fill vacancies at least in part, among small and medium-sized companies over 40 percent. The Federal Employment Agency counts 157 shortage occupations, including construction and trade occupations, and finds that the share of foreign employees in these occupations has doubled since 2014. We are a small part of that answer – with people we know.Sources: Arbeitnehmerfreizügigkeit seit 01.05.2011 · DIHK-Fachkräftereport 2025/2026 · Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Fachkräfteengpassanalyse 2025
Where you find us.
In production halls, warehouses and on construction sites where hands are missing and the work still has to be finished on time. And in Marijampolė, where our workers are tested before they travel to you.
