Valmiera-Andren representative in Ventspils Aigars Millers:
– Ventspils was chosen because of its port infrastructure - thanks to its ice-free harbour, which can handle large ships, the company can transport bulky goods (up to DN 8000) and fibreglass equipment to countries all over the world.
Member of the Board of Ventspils Welding Plant Jevgēnijs Lapkovskis:
– It is much easier to work in Ventspils than in Riga – less red tape and cooperation with the municipality make Ventspils attractive for us. One of the factors making the city unique is the ability to combine tourism and industry.
