Today, on 10 April, the winners of the survey “TOP Employer 2023” – the best and most desirable workplaces in Latvia last year – have been awarded. Latvijas Finieris is ranked as the 3rd best employer in the manufacturing sector. In the big TOP 50 vote, the company was ranked 18th, one place higher than a year before. This year, a record 17 324 respondents took part in the survey, voting for 1251 companies.

More than 9200 respondents took part in the voting for the best employers in the manufacturing sector, voting for a record number of companies – more than 320 – confirming that manufacturing companies form an important part of employers in Latvia. The top ten employers in the manufacturing sector received more than 40% of the votes in the category.

Yes, there is manufacturing in Latvia and we are strong! For a manufacturing company to reach this level, especially one based in the export market, it takes a lot of in-house work. So a huge thanks to all our colleagues in Latvia and beyond. Thank you for your trust, and thank you for your work every day – for your attitude, for the conversations, for the tasks completed together that make us stronger and one of the TOP employers. Thank you very much! To all those who want to join our team – good luck in the selection competitions,

said Gunita Meiere, Head of Human Resources and Administration and Board Member of Latvijas Finieris, in her thank you speech upon receiving the award.

The “TOP Employer” competition is Latvia’s largest and most prestigious employer image and reputation survey.
