What EMJ Metals does

EMJ Metals (legal entity 'EMJ metāls', SIA) is a Latvian metalworking subcontractor headquartered in Ķekava, founded in 2010 to provide sheet metal processing and fabrication services. It positions itself as the largest sheet metal processor in the Baltic states, operating more than 20 large metalworking machines across production facilities exceeding 10,000 square metres on 24/7 shifts and processing approximately 40 tonnes of metal per day. The core service portfolio comprises CO2 and fiber laser cutting (up to 40mm thickness, ±0.1mm tolerance, 90 m/min, tables up to 8,150x2,600 mm), CNC bending and folding on seven press brakes (up to 8,000 mm length, 20 mm thickness, 1,000 T force), and 3D plasma/oxyfuel cutting with bevel and on-table drilling/threading (up to 60 mm thickness, tables up to 20,000x4,000 mm). Welding, CNC machining, surface treatment, and coating are offered as add-on modules, partly through partner INFLUX SIA.

The company runs a B2B contract-manufacturing model with quote-based pricing, no public price list, minimum order volume by agreement, and standard order execution within 3–4 business days. It serves more than 1,000 clients per year, primarily other metalworking firms plus civilian end-users in construction, automotive, electronics, and HVAC, with the segment mix increasingly extending to military/defense following the 2019 PATRIA partnership and December 2023 CAVS 6x6 hull production certification (AQAP 2110:2016). Geographic reach is pan-European, with active exhibition presence across Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the UK, supported by an EU-funded 'Engineering cluster' project running through June 2026 and a multi-language sales website.

Revenue mechanics are services-led (professional services / contract manufacturing), with a direct sales team of seven named sales managers and assistants channeling custom RFQs through a multi-lingual web presence and trade shows. The ownership structure is closely held as a Latvian SIA, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A history. Major shareholders/members of the board include Ēriks Altroks (Member of the Board), Jānis Simanovičs (Deputy Head), and Agris Punculs (Marketing Director). The company has invested over EUR 3 million since 2019 in equipment, training, and quality systems to qualify as an independent PATRIA hull supplier, indicating a deliberate capital-intensive path to expand into higher-margin defense subcontracting.
