History
The area where the "Forums" office building is located once used to be the site of one of the largest production facilities in Riga, the "Tekstil" Joint Stock Company, incorporated as early as 1897. The factory used to produce various woollen fabrics, carrying out the entire production process, from wool spinning, thread processing and weaving to dyeing and fabric processing. The excellent quality of its products made it widely known not just on the local scale, but in foreign countries as well.
A part of the territory was wrecked during the war, yet the production shops were restored afterwards. After the restoration of national independence, the enterprise was renamed to "Rīgas tekstils" JSC. A number of companies was operating within the former territory of the enterprise in the 1990s, but in 2001, the company was dissolved.
