What SIA "VIA" does
SIA "VIA" is a Latvian privately-held road construction and building materials company headquartered in Riga, founded in 1991. The company provides vertically integrated infrastructure services spanning road and street construction, external water and sewerage network installation, asphalt concrete production, mineral material extraction, equipment rental, accredited laboratory testing, stone surface fabrication, and construction waste recycling. Its primary customers are public sector entities — VSIA "Latvijas Valsts ceļi" (the Latvian state road authority) and multiple Latvian municipalities — with a smaller secondary base of private enterprise clients in manufacturing and logistics.
The company operates two asphalt concrete plants (ABR Aizkraukle at 160 tonnes/hour and the newly digitalized ABR Ugāle featuring an AMMANN UNIBATCH 140P with Qpoint real-time quality monitoring, capable of producing asphalt with up to 30% recycled content) and two quarries (Jaundutkas dolomite quarry since 2013 and Umuļi gravel quarry since 2017). All four production sites hold Construction Products Regulation (CPR) conformity certificates. The company is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and its laboratories are accredited to EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 via LATAK, including a mobile laboratory performing static plate bearing capacity testing per DIN 18134.
VIA operates a sales-led, project-based go-to-market, bidding on Latvian public procurement tenders for state and municipal road projects, and acting as subcontractor or joint-venture partner on larger contracts (e.g., PA with STRABAG on the P122 and with CBF SIA "Binders" on the A10). Revenue streams include construction contracts, asphalt and mineral material sales, equipment rental with operators, laboratory testing (€50–80/test), construction waste acceptance (€8.00/tonne ex-VAT), and exported stone processing products sold to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England, France, Germany, and Russia under the akmens-virsmas.lv brand. The company has received multi-year Latvian Construction Awards recognition (2023–2025) and completed a 2025 digitalization investment co-financed by AS "Attīstības finanšu institūcija Altum."
