Chairman of the Board of Kurzemes Granulas Viesturs Grīnbergs:
ā The forests surrounding Ventspils and the already existing wood processing companies were the main factors, which helped us to choose Ventspils as the place to settle down. Here we could create a full-cycle wood-processing cluster. Whatās more, the nearby port provides bigger export opportunities for us.
Aleksejs Vasiljevs, Procurator at AS Wasserkabel Baltic:
ā Ventspils is a friendly city for our business and very beneficial in terms of traffic where everything is located together ā port, railway, motorway. Upon starting the business, we were granted tax incentives, which is very important for new companies, and we also received fast and qualitative assistance at various municipal institutions of Ventspils City.
