Introduction of a new type of wooden/aluminium windows with increased thermal insulation in production
SIA "KDW Werke Baltics" has finished implementation of project No. NP-2021/7 "Introduction of new type of wooden/aluminum windows with increased thermal insulation into production".
During the period from 17.12.2023 to 29.02.2024, all the remaining work related to the installation of the remaining CNC machine along with its software and cutting knife assemblies has been carried out. The final public events of the Project have been conducted, where interested parties were told about the progress of the Project, as well as the installed equipment was demonstrated.
From the project partner, the Norwegian company Verda Bygg AS has received all previously planned deliverables related to thermal modelling and performing calculations of the life cycle of the new product.
As a result of the implementation of the project, 6 new jobs have been created, as well as the employment of 3 persons with the status of disadvantaged workers has been ensured.
SIA "KDW Weke Baltics" thanks everyone in the implementation of the Project for its successful relaization.

Introduction of a new type of wooden/aluminium windows with increased thermal insulation in production
SIA "KDW Werke Baltics" continues to implement project No. NP-2021/7 "Introduction of new type of wooden/aluminum windows with increased thermal insulation into production".
In the period from 16.06.2022 to 16.12.2022, the delivery of one CNC machine has been carried out, as well as the delivery of a set of knives addressed to it, as well as software.
Project partner Norwegian company Verda Bygg AS continous to develop isothermal model, according to which heat transfer will be simulated.
2 interim reports have been submitted to the LIAA, one of which has been reviewed.
Taking into account the fact that the second delivery of CNC equipment has been delayed, a new procurement procedure was announced, as well as the deadline for the implementation of the Project was extended until November 30, 2023.

Introduction of a new type of wooden/aluminium windows with increased thermal insulation in production
On 16.12.2021 SIA "KDW Werke Baltics" and the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia have signed an agreement on project No. NP-2021/7 "Introduction of new type of wood/aluminium windows with increased thermal insulation into production", and has already started project implementation activities.
The aim of the project is to increase the productivity and competitiveness of SIA KDW Werke Baltics by launching a new product - wood/aluminium windows for passive houses, using resource-saving production technologies.
The project will be implemented in the areas of green innovation and during its implementation new production equipment will be purchased, which will ensure the use of surplus production processes, reducing the amount of wood waste by 11%.
As a result of the project, the purchase of maximum automated, more energy-efficient (compared to the technologies in the company) will be made, which will ensure higher productivity (both in terms of labour involvement and production time), consume less electricity per 1 window unit, thus making a significant contribution to the modernisation of the company's production technologies and increase of competitiveness at international level.
The project will involve a partner from the Kingdom of Norway – Verda Bygg AS, which will provide knowledge transfer in reference to thermal modelling, thermal insulation and air/water leakage testing, as well as life cycle calculations of the new product - a wood/aluminium window.
Main project activities:
1. Purchase of equipment and software.
2. Knowledge transfer activities with a project partner of the donor country (Norway).
3. Measure related to the implementation of the new service - employee involvement in the project.
4. Information and communication activities.
Planned results of the project:
1. 3 machines purchased, 1 software - production software.
2. 2 contracts of employment for the staff who will implement the project.
3. 1 partnership agreement.
4. 10 information and communication measures.
Total project cost: EUR 1 205 007.52 of which eligible costs EUR 1 031 988.52. The planned support from the Norwegian Financial Mechanism is EUR 567 593.68 or 55% of the total eligible costs of the project.
The project is planned to be implemented till September 2022.
