About us

Company history

65 years of metal hardware manufacturing. 135 years of industry in Aizpute.

MFR KURZEME is the only metal hardware manufacturer in the Baltics that has been continuously specializing in the production of window and door hardware, locks, and metal products for over 65 years. Today, the company combines industrial traditions, long-term experience, and modern technology, respecting its industrial heritage while maintaining consistent quality standards across generations.

The factory’s roots go back to 1890, when the entrepreneur Gertrude Lindenberg founded a cardboard packaging factory in Aizpute. It became one of the most important industrial enterprises in Kurzeme, exporting its products throughout what was then the Russian Empire. Over the years the factory lived through different historical periods, several reorganisations and political changes, yet the tradition of manufacturing on this site was never interrupted. Today it is an important part of Aizpute’s industrial heritage.

A significant turning point was 1960, when part of the Riga metal products factory was moved to Aizpute “Kvēle” and created the key and construction accessories factory 'Aizpute'. Just five years later, the company gained a name Metal hardware factory “Kurzeme”, or MFR KURZEME – a name that has lasted all the way to the present day in the form of a quality mark.
From the very beginning, the factory specialized in manufacturing metal fittings and locks. It became the only specialized factory of this type in Latvia, developing a wide range of window and door hardware and gradually becoming one of the most important companies in this industry in the Baltics.
In the 1970s the company grew rapidly - it built a new production building and introduced automated parts manufacturing, modern electroplating technology and quality control systems. Production efficiency increased several times over, while high quality standards were maintained. During this period MFR “Kurzeme” products found their way into thousands of buildings across the Soviet Union, and some items were also exported abroad.
After Latvia regained its independence, the company adapted to the new market conditions, expanding into metalworking, forged metalwork, woodworking and the production of custom metal products. In 2022 the work of the historic Metal Hardware Factory “Kurzeme” was continued by AS KURZEMES ATSLĒGA, preserving not only the brand and the technology but also the knowledge and craftsmanship built up over more than sixty years.
Today, MFR KURZEME is not only one of the continuators of Latvia's industrial history, but also the only metal fittings manufacturer in the Baltics that combines full-cycle production, historical expertise, and modern solutions. Each of our products continues a tradition that has been nurtured in Aizpute for more than six decades, showing that true quality is a value that lasts for generations.
