With the support of the European Regional Development Fund (ERAF), the project of a Baltic Block pilot plant for introduction of new extruded products into production has been started!

On May 7, 2019, SIA Baltic Block signed contract no. 1.2.1.4/18/A/050 with the Central Finance and Contracts Agency on the project "Establishment of a Baltic Block Pilot Factory for the Production of New Extruded Products". The aim of the project is to establish a plant that will produce extruded woodchip products for industrial pallets in Madona.

In the first half of this year "Baltic Block" has sold 70366m3 of finished products, which is 42.17% more than in the respective period of 2018. Andis Šķēle, the Director of company, points out that despite good sales results, the first half of the year has not been as successful as year before.

Having received support from the Central Finance and Contracting Agency (CFCA) and co-financing from Citadele bank, the woodchip pallet block manufacturer Baltic Block has purchased and started operating three modern chip processing machines within the framework of the energy efficiency project of the Climate Change Financial Instrument (CCFI).

Baltic Block was one of the 25 Latvian companies titled ‘’The Red Jackets’’, on this year’s best exporting brand evaluation, organized by the export support movement ‘’The Red Jackets’’.

The “Green belt” certificate is awarded to companies that take care of packaging waste collection, sorting and recycling of secondary raw materials.

The Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma visited the Baltic Block production facilities and was introduced to the innovative plant operations.

During his visit to Madona municipality, the president of Latvia was introduced to Baltic Block production facilities.

On 1st September 2015, the recently elected President of Latvia Raimonds Vējonis visited Baltic Block and was guided throught the whole production process.

On August 2016 Baltic Block received ISO 50001:2011 certificate which proves company’s compliance with Standard for Energy Management Systems.

Having received co-financing from "Citadele" bank, the Latvian manufacturer of pressed woodchip pallet blocks "Baltic Block" has invested 3.5 million euros in new production technologies and production facilities. The company has also revealed its plans for expanding exports to the USA, United Arab Emirates, Costa Rica, Saudi Arabia and South Korea.

By manufacturing a seemingly simple but high-quality product from raw materials available in Latvia, we are developing and building Latvia's reputation as an export country in foreign markets. Andis Šķēle, Director of Baltic Block, reveals the company's ambitions.

In order to motivate workers to stay in their regions, thus also guaranteeing income to the budget of local governments and improving the overall living conditions of locals, employers must be willing to offer wages and social guarantees equivalent to those in Riga.

The head of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea Mr. Seong-Jin Han met with representatives of the “Baltic Block” during a regional visit to Madona. During his visit, the ambassador had a tour through the company’s production plant, saw manufacturing process and heard future development plans.
