Egils Staris, Chair of Board, SIA Bio-Venta:
– Location within the territory of Ventspils Free Port and the available infrastructure are some of the competitive advantages of SIA Bio-Venta, if compared to similar producers.
Selecting the correct location was essential for realisation of the biodiesel plant project — SIA Bio-Venta is in the middle of material flow from the East to Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Antwerp (ARA) ports now and thus closer to our target markets in the Baltics and Scandinavia than other biodiesel producers from the Western Europe. Access to port berths and rail and road access ensure one of the major elements in biodiesel production business, i.e. flexible logistics of materials and production.
Member of the Board of Froli Baltic Margret Fromme.
– Margret Fromme on the city of Ventspils: “We know the city of Ventspils now since over 18 years. For us and the team of Froli the city is like a pearl by the sea. The people are open-minded, tolerant, interested and friendly. It always impresses us how the city is investing in new social, cultural and economic sites and organizations. Every time we come here, we feel the positive energy and it’s like we’re visiting friends.”
And on the Froli Baltic team: “What is commendable is not only the level of education of the local workers, but also the fact that every one of them is ready to receive educational training, to learn, to acquire new skills and, most importantly – let themselves be taught. Some of the skills have to be learnt on the spot - production and processes change, therefore the workers need new skills and competences. The training in collaboration with the German colleagues is taking place both here and in Germany. We are very proud of the team and pleased with how honestly and thoroughly they are doing their jobs.”
