The Latvian cosmetics producer Dzintars is in discussions over the expansion of its sales to US retail chains, the company's chairman Ilja Gercikovs revealed in an interview with the Telegraf newspaper. “The US greatly interests us, and US retailers also seem very interested in our eco-cosmetic products.” The firm is in negotiations with retail chains that run at least 2,000 stores, he continued, adding that this was the size of retail chain that could allow effective logistical planning and resolve other technical questions. Dzintars’ history began in the middle of the 19th century, when the foundations of perfume and cosmetics production in Latvia were laid. The company currently produces more than 350 different perfumes, decorative cosmetics, products for skin, hair and facial care, and other bio-cosmetic products. The company's production is exported to 21 countries, mainly to the other Baltic states, the CIS, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Australia, Bulgaria, and Israel.
