Orkla Latvija plans to invest 4 million euros in the coming years to develop the Spilva plant. During the implementation of the project, it is planned to expand the existing “Spilva” production plant by 1,500 square meters and invest 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, informed Lineta Mikša, Communications Director of Orkla Latvija.

“Thinking about future growth opportunities, today we make a decision on 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 the existing production processes more convenient, more profitable, as well as will not be limited to future development, thinking about new products and business segments, ”emphasized Toms Didrihsons, Chairman of the Board of Orkla Latvija.
