Valmiera Industrial Park

Land units are available for industrial enterprises in the territory of Valmiera Industrial Park. It is a place for business with capacity. A large area prepared for industrial development in a strategically advantageous location. Available for local and international companies.

Valmiera Industrial Park 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). 

Advantages of the area of 57.55 ha

It was put into operation on 25th November, 2025, and preparations for certification have begun in order to obtain a NoBo (Notified Body) certificate, which will confirm the railway’s compliance with European Union technical requirements.

Accessibility and mobility

The infrastructure works are being carried out with co-financing from the Next Generation EU of EUR 20 million under project No 3.1.1.i.0/1/23/A/CFLA/008 ” Development of Valmiera Industrial Park” (Phase 2 development, 57 ha).

At the beginning of 2026, it is planned to announce repeat auctions for the lease of the Valmiera Industrial Park railway and loading/unloading (logistics) area and 12 ha of development land. Information about the auctions is available on the website www.investinvalmiera.eu.

As a result of the public auction, on 27 August 2024, a contract for the development of the 26 ha land unit in Phase 2 of the Valmiera Industrial Park was concluded with “Fibenol Latvia” Ltd, which will start construction of the biorefinery in 2027 if the environmental impact studies and feasibility studies are successful. In April 2025, a development right agreement was concluded with “PATA BOARD” Ltd for a 23.7 ha part of the site.
