“Dead” enterprises of Jelgava
Companies, that used to operate and made production in Jelgava in the past,
but due to different reasons have stopped their activities at the moment
“Jelgavas cukurfabrika”“Sugar-refinery of Jelgava”
FOOD INDUSTRY
“Sugar-refinery of Jelgava” had been one of the biggest
factories operating in Jelgava since 1926 and the biggest factory of
sugar industry in Latvia. Main product of “Sugar-refinery of Jelgava”
– “Jelgavas cukurs” had been the most merchantable sugar in
Latvia.
“Sugar-refinery of Jelgava” was closed in 2008 due to sugar
market reform in European Union. There was a possibility that
factory could continue its existence, but the new standards limited
factory too much and working in future wouldn’t give any
emolument.
RAF (Rīgas Autobusu Fabrika)RAF (Riga Bus Factory)
MACHINE BUILDING INDUSTRY
Used to be one of the biggest van factories in the USSR, its
production was exported to many Lesser developed countries
(developing nations).
At first the factory was located in Riga (1954-1975), but it moved
to Jelgava because here were built new corps for the factory (1975-
1998).
RAF was closed because of outdated technique and equipment,
and also because of big competition with new concerns from
Western Europe.
Now in Jelgava in the territory of RAF is getting ready the
biggest industrial park in the Baltics.
LMR (Jelgavas Lauksaimniecības Mašīnu Rūpnīca)LMR (Agriculture Machine-building plant of Jelgava)
MACHINE BUILDING INDUSTRY
LMR started its existence in 1955. At first the factory produced
harrows and cultivators that were used in agriculture, but the most
popular product throughout the years has been transporters for
removing muck. This product has earned appreciation not only in
USSR, but also in many other countries in Europe.
LMR was closed in 1999. The main reasons for closing the
factory were outdated technique and equipment, and also
privatization of company. That seriously bothered LMR’s successful
work.
“Jelgavas piena kombināts”“Dairy produce factory of Jelgava”
FOOD INDUSTRY
“Dairy produce factory of Jelgava” started work in 1948 and
since then had been competitive with other companies in this field
until 2007.
The main reasons for closing the factory in 2008 were problems
with finanses and really big competition in the local market. The
biggest problems inside the company started with privatization of
the factory in 2006.
“Jelgavas maizes kombināts”“Bread product factory of Jelgava”
FOOD INDUSTRY
“Bread product factory of Jelgava” was one of the oldest
factories in Jelgava. This company made bread, which was very
popular all over Latvia.
In 2001, “Bread product factory of Jelgava” associated with
similar company in Liepāja, and made “JLM group”. But in the end
it didn’t work out, and the factory was closed in 2008 due to big
competition in the local market with other, more modern and
contemporary companies.
Thank you!
