The newest factory building, constructed by the order of the administration of the Port of Ventspils, has been delivered for operations and rental agreement for its usage has also been signed with one of the leading high technology companies in Baltics - "HansaMatrix", which has chosen the Port of Ventspils as one of the main locations for the development since 2007.

The factory, with its actual address Ventspils High Technology Park No 7, covers 4.600 square meters of area and it has been designed for manufacturing electronic products. The building will be rented by "Hansamatrix", a company, which has been developing its operations in Ventspils for already 13 years. Installation of equipment has already been started in the factory.

"HansaMatrix" is a high technology company, which provides development of new electronic products and systems, industrialisation thereof, as well as integrated manufacture services for clients in data network equipment, internet of things, industrial systems and other high added value segments.

In order to continue development of the industrial zone, in 2020 the administration of the Port of Ventspils continued construction of 3 new factory buildings. As of now, factory building No. 7 in Ventspils High Technology Park has been completed and delivered for the operations. In the near future, construction of another factory building, located in Ganību Street 103, will be finalised and the lessee has already started to install the equipment. At the same time, building No. 6 in the Ventspils High Technology Park has been redesigned due to the change of business plans of the current lessee, who refused to rent the neighbouring building for expansion of the operations. There are three more ready projects of factory buildings in the Ventspils High Technology Park that can be offered to potential investors.

Since year 2002 by the order of the administration of the Port of Ventspils, 10 factory buildings have been constructed in the industrial zone and more than 20 production companies have been attracted, thus creating more than 1.700 new work places.
