Naujoji Akmenė is a city in Akmenė district municipality, Lithuania. It is one of the newest cities in Lithuania. Its name means the New Akmenė. It is an industrial center. Public company Akmenės Cementas (English: Akmenė Concrete) was built in 1952. It produces about 700,000 tons of concrete annually. As a new city it did not have a well-developed infrastructure. For example, a special branch of railroad had to be built for the factory needs. Also, the road network was rapidly developing before the city existed.
