One of the central tourist attractions in Dobele is the ruins of the Livonian Order Castle, built in the 14th century. In 2020, the castle ruins were given a new look and have become a multifunctional centre for culture, crafts, and tourism development, named Dobele Castle. Dobele Castle is one of the most visited places in the Dobele Municipality, giving pleasure not only to locals but also the visitors from all over Latvia and beyond.
We are proud of the new appearance of the Castle, and therefore, we offer a new design lantern candle featuring a wonderful photo of the Castle captured in the spring of 2024. The advantage and great feature of this design candle is that, as it burns, the design decorates it throughout its burning time, illuminating it and giving the design various moods imparted by the flame. The candle is adorned with a photograph obtained thanks to the winner of a photo contest – Dobele local Dana Keine-Cine.

Festive parade took place as part of the Dobele City Festival.
As every year, also this year the employees of the company together with their families participated in the festive parade.
It is a great opportunity for the people employed in the company to meet outside the working environment and experience spirit of the holiday, thus reminding the locals and guests of the festival about their company.
Our slogan is: Together we can – together we do!

As part of the Dobele City Festival, a festive run/walk took place, which was the athletic segment of the celebration.
In honour of this year’s 770th anniversary of the city, each participant covered a distance of 7.70 km, either walking or running.
Our company’s team also accomplished this together!
Our slogan is: Together we can – together we do!

This year same as every year the employees of the company together with their families were welcome to take part in the clean-up, which took place within the framework of the Latvian Big Cleanup.
This year, we cleaned the company’s courtyard area as well as the area behind the fence. Although the area well-maintained daily, there is always something that can be improved even further.
We also cleaned the adjacent area beyond the fence, where, unfortunately, waste and litter had accumulated during the dark winter months.
There is shared joy in what we have accomplished and summer can begin!
