Honouring the Laureates of the Smiltene Municipality Business Awards
On Friday, 6 November 2026, local entrepreneurs, municipal representatives and guests gathered at the Smiltene Municipality Cultural Centre for the award ceremony of the “Business of the Year” competition. The aim of the competition is to recognise businesses that operate with integrity in their respective industries and make a valuable contribution to the municipality. This year, 13 companies received awards across 9 categories.
The event was opened by Ervins Labanovskis, Chairman of the Smiltene Municipality Council. He introduced the attendees to local economic indicators, major development and investment projects, as well as other information relevant to the municipality.
As usual, the event was enriched by several industry experts, who shared valuable insights into current developments in the business sector.
The ceremony continued with the presentation of the “Business of the Year” awards to the laureates selected by a municipal committee.
SIA “ACBR” received an award in the “Contribution to the Community” category.
SIA “ACBR” is one of the most experienced road and infrastructure construction companies, contributing its expertise and machinery to projects of importance to the local community.
In the spring of this year, the company provided valuable support for the development of Smiltene's sports infrastructure by supplying machinery, workforce and asphalt paving services at the “Teperis” Sports and Recreation Complex.
Thanks to this contribution, Smiltene has taken another step towards hosting even larger-scale motorsport events than before. This is an example of how a company's professional expertise and willingness to help can create a lasting benefit for its local community.
