Chairman of the Board of Diana Candles Lars Olesen:
– One of the reasons for us to choose Ventspils was the special economic zone, which can be found elsewhere in Latvia, too, but an additional argument in favor of the Freeport of Ventspils was the cooperation with and support from the local authorities – the municipality and the Freeport. Our company employs around 180 people, who do their work very well and with high quality. Ventspils is a beautiful city, which offers a vast range of leisure time activities to choose from – it can be a concert in the theatre house Sea Gate (Jūras vārti) or skiing on the mountain Lembergs’ Trilby (Lemberga Hūte). The city knows the wishes of people.
Sales manager of the ARBO Windows Vjačeslavs Kolosovs:
– We have chosen Ventspils as our home. Wonderful infrastructure of the Ventspils city, a nearby port, ferry traffic, availability of labor, as well as support of the Ventspils Freeport and the provided offices for production make our work much easier.
