PRIMEKSS Other specific information: Primekss, a concrete technology company, received the Most Innovative Product of 2009 Prize, awarded by the Latvian Ministry of Economics and the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia under the patronage of the President of Latvia, for their CO2 saving concrete technology. The Copenhagen summit has underlined the inability of world leaders to achieve progress in tackling climate change. It is now down to individuals to create the technological breakthroughs that would lead to reduction in greenhouse gases. Primekss has created a new type of concrete that allows CO2 emissions to be reduced by up to 50 per cent in comparison to traditional concrete. The improved concrete has been successfully used in buildings, especially in the laying of floors, across Scandinavia - in Sweden, Finland and Norway, as well as in the countries of North-Eastern Europe and Israel. The concrete industry creates more than 5 per cent of CO2 emissions worldwide, and a significant reduction of emissions in such a major polluter is therefore an important achievement. The new concrete is created by improving the concrete matrix with additives and fibers. The resulting concrete is much tougher, allowing slender structures to be built. The new technology has been used in projects built by US-based developer of warehouse buildings ProLogis (NYSE:PLD), Finnish retailer SOK Group, the Postal Service of Norway and lot of other clients.

Main activities/description of business profile: Company’s philosophical ground is social business – creation of social equality and respect towards each other by investing ideas, skills and big work. Wooly World toys combine original handwork with natural wool features. In every toy’s creation have been invested long hours of handwork. First step is making fabric – felting fine sheep wool nap does this. Then it is cut into necessary shapes and sewn together. Last step is needle felting in other words – Teddy’s shaping. People from Liepaja’s blind society do this last step. For Teddy’s fur is used fine merino sheep wool from New Zealand but the Teddy’s belly is filled with domestic wool.

Main markets: Latvia, Germany, Japan

Company offers: Handmade toys – Teddy bears
