PATA

PATA, also styled as SIA “PATA”, is a Latvian company operating across forestry management, timber trading, transportation, and wood-product production. It is a privately owned business rather than a listed consumer brand. The company’s activities cover several stages of the forestry and timber value chain, including early forest-planting work, felling, timber transportation, sawmill operations, and the production or sale of sawn timber, firewood, and fuel chips. The company’s business model is therefore based on managing and moving forest resources and converting timber into commercially usable products. Its scope extends beyond a single branded product: PATA combines operational forestry services with trading and logistics capabilities. This vertical breadth allows the company to participate in forest management, harvesting, transport, processing, and distribution. A significant part of its retail-facing activity is conducted through PATA Timber, a subsidiary focused on timber trading. PATA Timber operates five stores in Latvia, including concept stores intended to sell domestically produced timber. The stores offer a mixture of Latvian and foreign-produced timber, although most of the available products are supplied by the parent company. The subsidiary has also worked with the Latvian trading house Kursi and has developed concept-store activity in Dreilini. PATA is wholly owned by Uldis Mierkalns according to the referenced company description. The available reference material does not identify a founding year, registered headquarters, revenue, employee count, stock-market listing, or official corporate website. It also does not establish Italy as a core operating market; Latvia is the clearly documented country associated with the company, while Italy appears in the supplied country metadata without supporting detail. Beyond commercial operations, PATA has participated in community and environmental initiatives. It is described as a “shelter friend” of the Ulubele animal shelter. In 2013, the company also collaborated with the Latvian Ornithology Society and Latvian athletes on a project involving the installation of bird nests. These activities connect the company with animal welfare, biodiversity, and public participation, although the available material does not provide detailed information about the scale, duration, or measured outcomes of the initiatives. PATA should be distinguished from unrelated businesses and brands using the name “Pata.” The authoritative subject for this entry is the Latvian timber and forestry company identified by the Wikipedia title “PATA (company).”

PATA is a Latvian privately owned company whose documented activities span forestry management, timber trading, transport, processing, and retail distribution. The available reference material does not state when the company was founded or describe its original ownership structure, so its early corporate history cannot be reconstructed reliably from the supplied sources. The company operates across the forestry value chain. Its services include initial forest-planting stages, felling, transportation of timber, sawmill operations, and the production of sawn timber, firewood, and fuel chips. This combination indicates a business organized around both primary forestry work and downstream timber handling. Rather than operating solely as a retailer or manufacturer, PATA participates in the movement of wood from managed forests through processing and commercial sale. A retail and distribution arm operates under the PATA Timber name. The subsidiary is described as a timber-trading company with five stores in Latvia, including concept stores selling timber produced domestically. Its assortment includes Latvian products as well as timber from foreign sources, with most store merchandise supplied by the parent company. PATA Timber has cooperated with the trading house Kursi, and concept-shop activity has also been associated with Dreilini. The available material does not provide the dates of the subsidiary’s formation, the opening dates of individual stores, or current store locations beyond the reference to Dreilini. Ownership information identifies Uldis Mierkalns as the owner of PATA and holder of all company shares. No evidence in the supplied material indicates that PATA is publicly listed. Financial results, workforce figures, acquisitions, major capital investments, and changes in ownership are not documented in the available references. The company has also undertaken or supported community initiatives. PATA is described as a “shelter friend” of the Ulubele animal shelter. In 2013, it worked with the Latvian Ornithology Society and various Latvian athletes on a bird-nest installation project. These activities provide evidence of involvement in animal-welfare and biodiversity-related programs, but the source does not specify the number of nests installed, the locations, funding, or long-term environmental results. The supplied metadata lists both Italy and Latvia, but the reference material identifies PATA as a Latvian company and describes its operations, subsidiary network, and partnerships in Latvia. No Italy-specific operations are documented. Accordingly, Latvia is treated as the company’s documented country of operation, while Italy remains unverified.
