Riga Balsam producer found itself on the brink of crisis
"Rygos balzamo" gamintojas atsidūrė ant krizės slenksčio
Garsųjį "Rygos balzamą" gaminančios Latvijos bendrovės "Latvijas balzams" pardavimai per pirmąjį 2026 metų pusmetį smuko 38 proc., o apyvarta sumažėjo 30 proc%, pranešti Delfi.
Iki birželio mėnesio gamintojo sąskaitose buvo likę tik 1612 eurų. Metų pradžioje bendrovės mokestinės skolos siekė 28 mln. eurų. Gamintojas kreipėsi dėl teisinės apsaugos nuo kreditorių, perkėlė putojančių gėrimų gamybą į Lietuvą ir nutraukė dalies produkcijos gamybą.
Finansinės problemos kelia abejonių dėl "Rygos balzamo" ateities-prekės ženklo, turinčio daugiau nei 270 metų istoriją, tapusio vienu iš Latvijos simbolių.
