British Ambassador visits Lesjöfors Gas Springs in Latvia

Lesjöfors Gas Springs in Liepāja, Latvia, was honoured to welcome British Ambassador, Kathy Leach, from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on an official visit last week.

The visit provided a valuable opportunity to discuss the current economic outlook in Europe and highlight the strong business ties between Lesjöfors Latvia and the United Kingdom. As Lesjöfors’ specialist hub for gas spring manufacturing, the Latvian facility plays a central role in delivering high-quality products to customers around the world – including many in the UK. Ambassador Leach’s visit underscored the strategic importance of these international partnerships and the shared commitment to growth and innovation.

Reflecting on the event, Managing Director Girts Ančevskis said: “It was a real privilege to host Ambassador Leach and showcase the capabilities we have here in Latvia. Our discussions about the European economic landscape and our collaboration with the UK reinforced the strength of our international relationships. Visits like this are a clear sign that Lesjöfors is recognised as a trusted and respected partner on the global stage.”

The visit not only strengthened the long-standing relationship between Lesjöfors and its UK partners but also highlighted the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting customers with world-class gas spring solutions and fostering growth through collaboration across borders.
