How it all begun!

In the autumn of 2003 we organized the agility competition for classic autos, which was called “Alfaltplēsēju” (“Asphalt out-wearer”) competition. At the end of the competition followed the distribution of prizes, but as we were not interested in “tin” cups, we decided to make the cups our own. So appeared our first prize – a piston cup, which became as company’s original symbol, afterwards the workshop was called "Asfaltplēsēju darbnīca" (Asphalt out-wearers' workshop). In 2004 we made some models from other auto components like pistons, valves, tires and cam-shafts, which mainly were presented in self-organized events. Noticing the competitors’ genuine interest about our produced prizes, the idea occurred to offer our prizes also to other organizers of the competitions, wherewith the first steps were made for searching clients.

2005-2006!

In 2005 our produced prizes received European rally cross-country race championship and North-European auto cross-country race championship winners, 5x5 club competition participants, Kurzeme rally, prizewinners of the exhibition Autoexotic, and Forsage dragrace winners. So we began to produce the prizes!

Year 2006 passed actively working in the field of auto sports and searching for new possibilities of prize production – we widened our range and turned to glass products, making cups from glass and crystal vases, as well as acquiring technologies such as sand jet, with which is possible to frost glass surface, creating on it inscriptions and logotypes. As well as actively we searched for cooperation partners for many other technology usage – for engraving, rototilling and components’ cutting with laser. The first workshop was established – from a friend loaned big enough garage, where the greatest part of our initial models came into existence. Our clients entrusted to us also such significant events as Latvian Autocross champion and Latvian Rally champion awarding. Within this year the prizes were produced for more than 20 events. This year gave us the understanding about the field of business and possible trends of development.

 

2007-2008!

In the year 2007 we started to use new materials for prize production, as well as we were continuing the searching for cooperation partners for production of awards. We began to produce new line of awards from modern materials like acrilic glass, comatex, dibond, rowmark. We began to make computer design sketches of the prizes and technical work out, but the production of these components we order to our cooperation partners – to such companies as Autodizains and Ultrastils. In this year we separated individual production of prizes from standardized production of prizes, as well as we established separate individual project management position, and attracted computer designer and artist. Moreover we manage to find much bigger and more perspective rooms, as wells as we founded “Awards & Prizes Studio” (Ltd "AP darbnica").

In the year 2008 we made essential contribution in room arrangements, and we acquired several modern equipments – CNC cutter, plotter, dust-free sand jet equipment, and other.

2009-2010!

From 2009 September we opened our workshop and office in Riga, Avotu Street 67. Now we are more approachable  to our client.

We began to produce new line of awards and cups from modern materials also natural materials like wood, glass, metal.

Our most important goal is to work out unique, qualitative products and to reach clients who can appraise goods what we made!
