SIA Unguri - Another satisfied client

SIA Unguri is a Latvian peat moss and peat blocks producer that is managing a total area of about 1,000 ha of peatlands. Back in 2004, we first purchased a Two-Head Vacuum Harvester from Premier Tech Systems (PTS) to replace the older European models that we owned. Over the next two years, we also bought a few other Vacuum Harvesters as our production was growing. We kept on buying several units because we were very satisfied with the equipment’s performance.

At the moment, we have a total of seven Two-Head Vacuum Harvesters from PTS, which are performing very well. In 2006, we elaborated a project to build a new factory. Already knowing PTS’s capability to provide us with a complete range of peat moss processing equipment, we decided to come to Canada and visit its facilities as well as its sister company's (Premier Horticulture) facilities and peat bogs. We were impressed by their facilities, and they really helped us choose the best equipment to fit our needs. Shortly after the visit, we ordered the EM-2000 Mega Baler. A Premier Tech technician came to install the baler in February 2007. After a few start-up and learning problems, together we finally fine-tuned the Mega Baler, which now gives us absolute satisfaction. The Mega Bales have definitely contributed to the success of our company. Our customers love the perfectly stable bales (for shipping and storage), the uniform square shape and the fact that the bales always contain the volume announced.

 
In the future, we plan to buy a four-station baler from PTS to get a wider range of packing possibilities.
 

Finally, I want to say thank you for your assistance. We wish you all the best for the future.
