MAN Engines strengthens its presence in the Baltic States: Adampolis becomes importer of power and marine engines
MAN Engines expands its sales and service network in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and entrusts Adampolis, UAB, as its new importer for the Power and Marine segments. Headquartered in Kaunas, Lithuania, the company has been established for many years as an importer of MAN trucks, buses and vans in the Lithuanian market and Finland and has a close-knit network of six locations in Lithuania; the presence in Estonia and Latvia is being expanded in a targeted manner.
As an importer for MAN Engines, Adampolis is responsible for sales, service and spare parts supply for MAN engines for power generation or power and heat generation, for emergency power generators and engines for workboats and yachts in the aforementioned markets. The partnership with the new importer status builds on an already long-standing cooperation in the service business and will be further intensified together with MAN Engines through training and the development of specific competencies for marine and gas engines. “Based on our successful cooperation, we are creating tangible added value for our customers in the Baltic States together with Adampolis.

Read MoreNew industrial development area and railway infrastructure available for investment in Valmiera – Valmiera Industrial Park is completed
Construction has been completed at Valmiera Industrial Park, which is an infrastructure of national importance – a railway siding and internal railway, a cargo loading/unloading (logistics) site, and an industrial electricity connection have been put into operation. The rest of the infrastructure intended for exporting manufacturing companies operating in smart specialization (RIS3) sectors, creating products with high added value, has also been completed. The newly built railway infrastructure will strengthen the role of Valmiera region in the European transport network, consolidating its position as an important connection point between regions and the Baltic States.
Valmiera Industrial Park, operating as Latvia’s first domestic multimodal logistics center, will promote economic growth and export capacity in Vidzeme. This will be a significant stage of development and change in the transport and storage sector, as companies in Vidzeme and South Estonia will be able to optimize their supply chains while reducing transport costs and emissions, as well as the load on roads. The potential of the new and competitive railway infrastructure and the extensive concrete logistics area has also been dubbed Latvia’s first “dry port” (i.e., inland intermodal terminals directly connected to seaports by road or rail).
“Targeted investment in business development is always necessary to promote growth and maintain competitiveness. The development of the Valmiera Industrial Park has been purposefully planned since 2014, implementing this idea gradually and thoughtfully to ensure maximum return on invested resources in the long term. It is planned that at least three export-oriented companies will start operating in the area to be developed under the project, creating new jobs and making significant investments in business. These are historically the largest investments in the development of the Valmiera region, which will make a significant contribution to both the region’s economy and the well-being of its residents. At the same time, in parallel with the development of business infrastructure in the municipality, we continue to invest in affordable housing and competitive education to ensure a timely supply of qualified specialists to the labor market,” says Jānis Baiks, Chairman of the Valmiera Municipality Council.
