SIA “Banga Ltd” produces tinned fish in Roja that are sold to customers in many parts of the world, including the USA and Japan. In order to serve such a wide market, the company requires suitable equipment and premises, as well as experienced staff. The company has gradually invested in these as it has developed the various stages of production.
With co-funding from the European Union, Banga Ltd has implemented several projects to modernise production and develop infrastructure. New equipment has been purchased for the production, packaging, labelling, sterilisation and quality control of fish and tinned goods. These cover a range of tasks that must be completed before the finished product can reach consumers.
One example is the project carried out under the ‘Investments in the processing of fishery and aquaculture products’ measure, which involved constructing a new cold store and expanding production and technical facilities. Over one million euros was invested in this work. The cold store is equipped with modern cooling technologies and can store up to 750 tonnes of raw fish. This is an essential requirement for the day-to-day operation of the production facility, as fish must be stored under the right conditions and in sufficient quantities prior to processing.
The company has also built a warehouse for raw materials and finished products, tarmacked the site, and purchased the necessary production machinery. These projects complement one another, providing space for production and storage of materials and finished tinned goods.
The company highlighted the results of these investments when reviewing its 2024 achievements. Investments made in previous years have increased production volumes and improved operational efficiency. During the year, the company's team produced and sold over 15 million units across 47 countries. The company provided employment for over 160 local people.
'Banga Ltd' has developed step by step: alongside new machinery, the premises and warehouses required for larger production volumes have been built. In the company’s experience, these investments have yielded tangible results in the form of greater operational efficiency and increased product manufacturing and sales volumes.
