Team
The team of the trading house in Riga
The team is structured as four functions that work around a single delivery. The internal operating unit is responsible for the storage site of Uriekstes iela 4A in Sarkandaugava: reception, batch control, marking and preparation for shipment. Sales managers conduct daily communication with customers in the Baltics, Scandinavia, Poland and Germany and translate their requests into specifications for manufacturers. Our partner Halal Latvia handles halal certification under a separate contract, so that the assessment stays apart from the commercial side of the deal. Our network of lawyers admitted to practise in Latvia and other EU countries works on contracts, customs disputes and trademark protection. This separation of roles allows one trading house to be responsible for the entire delivery, without lumping different responsibilities into one function.
