Managing Director of Bucher Municipal Niklaus Huser:
– Thank’s to the favorable frame conditions from Latvia and special the City of Ventspils with the well developed infrastructure and relatively low production cost, Ventspils wone the production place competition in the eastern countries. Our Bucher production Companie in Ventspils is a success story for Bucher and the cooperation with the Freeport of Ventspils. After consolidation of the successful production the Management of Bucher made a strategical decision in 2012 to take over land and building from the Freeport of Ventspils for further growing development and expansion of the sweeper business at Ventspils.
Chairman of the Board of Kurzemes Granulas Viesturs Grīnbergs:
– 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. What’s more, the nearby port provides bigger export opportunities for us.
