Businesses currently in Freeport of Ventspils
Sales manager of Hydraulik Bauteile Baltic Alfrēds Grieze:
– Since our greatest customer Bucher Municipal Ltd. operates in Ventspils, we chose to launch our company’s operation right here. The future operations and business development in Ventspils was also supported by the fact that the municipality and the Freeport of Ventspils had been very flexible and had supported us in the development process.
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.
