Latvian firm enters Japanese market

19/10/2009

Riga-based clothing manufacturer Ameri has confirmed that it is receiving orders from Japan less than a year after it took part in a trade visit to Osaka, during which it was able to showcase its merino, cashmere, cotton, silk, linen and viscose garments.

During the visit, Ameri established contacts with a Japanese trading partner and, after six months of talks, has now begun to receive orders. Company representative Ginta Amerika has told Latvian media: “The Japanese were looking in Europe for something special, something that China or India do not offer.”
