CEWOOD representing businesses of the 

Alūksne municipality during a visit of ambassadors


 In September, the heads of diplomatic missions accredited to Latvia went on their annual regional tour. This year to Vidzeme, including Smiltene, Alūksne, Stāmeriena, and Gulbene. The ambassadors gained an insight into the region’s cultural history and its business and tourism opportunities. CEWOOD was one of the companies that was invited to represent business and manufacturing in the Alūksne municipality. More than 60 participants participated in the tour.

At the Alūksne Culture Centre, the ambassadors were welcomed by the Chairman of the Alūksne Municipal Council, Dzintars Adlers. As one of the most important companies and one of the largest employers in the Alūksne municipality, CEWOOD was invited to present the company to the ambassadors. CEWOOD was very proud to represent the businesses of the region, our factory and shared the story of manufacturing, market, sales and future of wood wool panels.

“CEWOOD is a global company with regional roots. We are patriots of our country and of the Alūksne municipality, so we are happy to represent our region before the ambassadors. Latvia offers excellent business opportunities not only in Riga but also in Vidzeme and other regions. It is important to bring this message also to the foreign investors and potential cooperation partners,” explains CEWOOD Board Member Ingars Ūdris. “I had the pleasure to meet ambassadors from countries like the USA, Finland, Spain, Thailand, and they all were impressed by our product, company and our cooperation with companies in their countries,” continues Mr. Ūdris.

Each year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arranges a trip for foreign ambassadors to one of Latvia’s regions. Last year, the ambassadors had the opportunity to explore Zemgale, and the year before that, they travelled to Latgale and Kurzeme.
