Production and quality

From a coil of wire to a finished fence — in one factory in Jelgava.

How we make our products

All our products are made at our factory in Jelgava, Kalnciema ceļš 134A. Chain-link fencing, 3D panels and barbed wire are made on automated lines; posts and gates are fabricated and painted in the same factory. On average we produce 45,000 metres of fencing a week.

Raw material

Production starts with galvanised steel wire. The wire is heat-treated and straightened on our Italian-made wire straightening machine. Straight wire means a straight panel and an even chain-link mesh.

Production lines

  • Chain-link line. Installed in 2014–2015 with ERDF co-financing. Weaves 50 × 50 mm mesh and finishes the roll edges.
  • Panel welding line. Robotised in 2015 together with an Italian automation company. Welds 3D panels from 4 and 5 mm wire and forms the V-shaped stiffening bends.
  • Barbed wire and razor wire production. EZIS barbed wire and the high-security razor wire coil.
  • Post and gate workshop. Welding, galvanised sections, gate frames with welded-in panel infill.
  • Powder coating. Panels, posts and gates are painted on site, at our factory in Jelgava.

Coating

Zinc is the first protection against corrosion. Posts for panel fences are galvanised inside and out, at least 275 g/m². For PVC-coated chain-link, the wire is galvanised to EN 10244-2 (class C) and then coated with PVC. Panels, posts and gates are powder-coated; gates in two coats. Standard colours: RAL 6005, RAL 7016, RAL 8017.

Standards

Our chain-link fence meets the requirements of LVS EN 10223-6.

Inspection

We check quality at every stage of production — on every line, from wire straightening to packing. Before dispatch we inspect every batch: wire diameter, mesh size, coating and roll edge finish.

Warranty

All products carry the warranty required by law — no less than 2 years. For projects we can provide a longer warranty by agreement with the client. The warranty applies if the fence is installed correctly, so we supply installation instructions with chain-link fencing.

Energy efficiency

Since 2025 we have generated part of the factory's electricity ourselves. The solar power plant on the roof was expanded in 2026 to a total capacity of 0.266 MW and runs for our own consumption.
