About
From Consulting to Turn-Key Delivery
Marinator was born from experience and built step by step with a clear vision.
In 2022, we began in Finland as an entrepreneurship company, consulting in administration, operations, sales, marketing, and finance. Our work went far beyond advice — we turned companies into full turn-key providers, scaled operations, and managed complex funding projects.
In 2023, we established Marinator MB in Lithuania to connect with suppliers and partners across the Baltic states. This entity became the backbone of our group: auditing suppliers and subcontractors, negotiating procurement, and securing reliable materials and services. It also took charge of quality management, marketing, branding, communication, administration, and finance — giving us transparency, structure, and strength.
By 2024, we focused on building the foundation for future turn-key deliveries. We selected and audited strong partners, expanded a trusted supplier network across Europe, and finalized a complete quality management system aligned with international standards. With documented processes and proven partnerships, we were ready to take full turn-key responsibility.
In 2025, Marinator Oy was established in Finland. With all expertise combined, we moved beyond consulting into delivering complete turn-key technical outfitting areas — taking responsibility from design to commissioning.
Today, Marinator unites MB in Lithuania and Oy in Finland under one brand and one vision.

The belief behind our work
Final Word from Us
For us, business is personal. It is about keeping our word, standing by our customers, and being proud of the work we deliver.
Every promise we make carries responsibility and honor. Sometimes that means choosing to solve a customer’s problem even if it costs us more — because trust lasts longer than profit.
We see the people behind every project, and we believe business should bring pride and joy, not just numbers.
At Marinator, we finish what we promise. It is not a slogan — it is our belief, our way of working, and the foundation of every partnership we build.
