Our History
ACA Forest
The company’s activities began on 30 November 1990, when the Latvian–Finnish joint venture SIA SILVA was established. In September 2001, the company became the representative of the Metsäliitto Group in Latvia.
At the end of 2005, the Finnish–Latvian joint venture SIA SILVA changed its name to SIA Metsaliitto Latvia.
In February 2012, the Metsäliitto Group reorganized its corporate identity in order to continue operating as the unified Metsä Group. As a result of the corporate identity reorganization, the company’s name was changed to SIA Metsa Forest Latvia.
In February 2025, Metsä Group decided to sell SIA Metsa Forest Latvia to the Latvian company SIA ACA Timber. In June 2025, the company was renamed SIA “ACA Forest”.
