Description
On 19 May 2006 Froli Baltic opens a new production unit in Ventspils. Froli Baltic is a 100% German capital owned company, producing polyurethane components. The company is planning to expand its manufacturing and employ 100 workers in two years. The main reason of opening the production unit in Latvia is not low costs but the possibility to be closer to the target market and an existing logistics system.
