Orkla Latvija will invest four million euros in the expansion of Spilva’s production facility

The food concern Orkla Latvija plans to invest four million euros in the expansion of the Spilva brand, the group informed.

The project envisages the expansion of the existing Spilva plant by 1,500 square meters and investment in the purchase of additional equipment. Along with the planned improvement at the Spilva plant, the company will have the opportunity to increase production volumes and make production more efficient, as well as develop new innovations and business opportunities.

Toms Didrihsons, Chairman of the Board of Orkla Latvija

“Thinking about future growth opportunities, today we make a decision about the development of the Spilva brand plant. The current plant is modern and competitive, but it has remained too narrow to continue the sustainable growth of the business, so we will expand the premises and thus be able to increase capacity to develop the brand. We will make existing production processes more convenient, more cost-effective, and we will not be limited to future development in terms of new products and business segments. ”

The Spilva plant has been located in Babīte since 1992, when it started operating as a small canning workshop, and has experienced great growth over time. The new production building has been operating since 2008, next to which, in later years, the living quarters of employees, production laboratories and rooms for mechanical workshops have been built and equipped. For the convenience of employees, an even larger and more comfortable dining room, changing rooms, clothes and shoe dryer have been provided. One building also houses special hygiene locks that meet the highest standards, a new production analysis laboratory and spacious, modernly equipped mechanical workshops with a warehouse.

The Spilva plant produces several hundred products in various food and food additive categories, including tomato sauces and ketchups, mayonnaise, dressings, canned vegetables, jams and desserts, horseradish and mustard, soups and main courses. The Spilva brand manufactures products not only for the Latvian market, but also for other Orkla Group companies abroad.

The Orkla Latvija Group includes Orkla Biscuit Production, SIA Saldumu prekyba and SIA Latfood Agro. In Latvia, Orkla represents and develops Laima, Selga, Staburadze, Ādažu Čipsi, Pedro, Spilva, Gutta, Everest, Latplanta and other brands. The company is part of the Norwegian concern Orkla.
