Anita Krage

Brewery Tērvete technologist since 1971.

Anita started working at the Tervete Brewery in February 1971, when the equipment was not yet installed at the brewery itself, and at her workplace in the laboratory consisted of nothing more than a desk. Anita can still be found here –on weekly tastings every Mondays; she is also in charge of technological issues and quality control. When asked what this place means to her, Anita says that the brewery is her own child, because she has spent her whole life here.

“I have always been pleased to see the support of my colleagues in my vision of what TĒRVETES beer should be. Support, encouragement and, yes, positive feedback from the team helped me strive for excellence. I am very happy to see how our brewery is developing. The dreams and goals we once had are now visible here in tangible form. Every day now I can only enjoy everything I see.

The basis of our success story, in my opinion, is the fact that we met people with similar principles and values, and also thanks to our perseverance – we have always been demanding in terms of quality, taste, without compromising even in details. At all times, this helped us stand out and win. I remember how we always thanked each employee for the achievements. During all the difficult moments we got together to agree on how and what to do next.

Vilnis Krievkalns

Mechanical engineer, at the brewery since 1979.

Vilnis has been working at the brewery since 1979 and has been a chief engineer for 30 years. Having received his education, Vilnis worked for some time in Riga, but really wanted to live in the Latvian countryside. Returning to his homeland was natural. When asked why this particular brewery and what underlies such long-term love, Vilnis replies:

“From an early age, I worked here in the summer because my mother was an accountant for the company. Even then, I saw the pride of the workers for TĒRVETE beer, for the quality they could provide. If the shelf life of other beers in those ancient times was 7 days, then Tervete – 9 days. Pride has accompanied me all these years, and my goal at work has always been to maintain high level of quality. And this is not only my goal; people here always cared about the TĒRVETE brand, were a little fanatical and lived with the goal of constant improvement. Even now, as a new generation enters the workforce, we are trying to pass on these important values ​​to them.”
