TOP ESTONIAN ENTERPRISES

2012 The economic results of Estonian companies for 2011 reveal that in absolute figures the pre-crisis level has already been achieved or will be shortly. Comparison of last year’s economic growth figures with those of other EU member states suggest that the situation in Estonia is excellent indeed. We will let observers themselves decide whether the situation is as remarkable from the real economy point of view. Still, the fact remains that the number of those who have succeeded in staying out of the red is greater than in recent years. Without doubt, each and every Estonian company deserves recognition. Staying competitive and being successful require dedication and skills, now more than ever. The global economy is constantly changing, with countries and enterprises doing their utmost to surround themselves with the best business environment, and make their products and services competitive. This forces us to exert ourselves and make an effort – competition is sure to crush anyone who stays idle. The Entrepreneurship Award and the Estonian Companies’ Competitiveness Ranking already have quite a dignified history. While in recent years we have witnessed a drop in the number of companies willing to make an effort to outdo competitors, we are happy to see the tide turning. After several years, the number of companies in the Estonian Companies’ Competitiveness Ranking has reached a respectable number of 550. The increase in the number of participants also attests to more positive business and growth figures. We sincerely hope that this trend will continue in the upcoming years. We kindly thank all participants and wish you all the success in staying competitive!

ESTONIAN COMPANIES´ COMPETITIVENESS RANKING

2012

In 2012, Estonia ranked 33rd on the international competitiveness scoreboard, 13th in the European Union. The international competitiveness ranking serves as an indication of the country’s efforts in creating and maintaining an environment which enhances competitive strength. Competitive countries are able to sell more goods and services on the international market, and receive more foreign direct investments. The competitiveness ranking of local companies is yet another way to encourage competition. The rankings allow one company to be weighed against another, evaluate performance and sustainability, and to establish new ambitious goals.

The Estonian Companies’ Competitiveness Ranking is a list of companies who have voluntarily submitted their performance indicators for the year: revenue, net profit/loss, personnel expenses, investments in non-current assets, export turnover, equity and average number of employees. The overall competitiveness ranking is then prepared in order to determine the most competitive Estonian company. AS EMT was declared the winner in 2011. In addition to the overall winner being announced, a competitiveness ranking for small and medium-sized enterprises is prepared. Rankings are prepared in the following fields of activity: retail trade, wholesale, industry and energy, food industry, construction, communication/IT services, transport and logistics, agriculture and forestry, tourism, financial mediation, business service and real estate, service industry. A new area – design and architecture – was added in 2012. All rankings are based on statistical data on the companies. The ranking may thus be different in different tables. The ranking is calculated by adding up the nominal deviations – i.e. the higher the positive sum or the lower the negative sum, the higher the ranking. The Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry has prepared rankings since 2003. The Estonian Employers’ Confederation joined the process in 2006. The Estonian Institute of Economic Research conducts the technical calculations and chooses the ranking method in co-operation with the International Institute for Management Development in Lausanne. As a sign of appreciation of the role of companies in the Estonian society, ETV broadcasted the gala event (announcement of the winners of both the Estonian Companies’ Competitiveness Ranking 2012 and Entrepreneurship Award 2012 competitions) at the Estonia Concert Hall on September 20.

Estonian Companies´ Competitiveness Ranking

• Entrepreneurship Award

“There are those who believe the state should have greater influence over corporate behaviour and intervene in corporate activity. But no-one has been able to provide a serious alternative to the free market economy and open competitionbased system, which would inspire entrepreneurship and generate income.” Mait Palts, Director General of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry

The purpose of the Estonian Companies' Competitiveness Ranking, organised for already the 10th time this year, is to determine the most competitive companies, providing the opportunity to weigh one company against another. The competitiveness ranking is prepared as a general ranking list, also for SMEs since 2007 and by fields of activity in 13 categories, allowing comparison (%) with the most competitive ones. THE MOST COMPETITIVE ESTONIAN COMPANIES: • 2003: Eesti Energia • 2004 – 2006: Hansapank (now Swedbank) • 2007 – 2008: Tallink Group • 2009: Mazeikiu Nafta Trading House (now Orlen Eesti) • 2010: Tallink Group • 2011 – 2012: EMT

EMT

EMT THE MOST COMPETITIVE COMMUNICATION AND IT-SERVICES ENTERPRISE

2012

The highlights for last year included the introduction of the new logo and implementation of a new method for measuring customer satisfaction – the promoter index or NPS. We are glad to get positive feedback from our customers, despite the unstable economic environ-

Established in 1991, EMT is Estonia’s largest mobile operator with more than 800,000 customers. The company is part of Eesti Telekom and the TeliaSonera group. EMT aims at offering the best voice and data communication services to its customers, along with innovative products and services. The company continually invests in network development, and plans to cover, by the end of the year, 70% of the Estonian population with the innovative, fourth-generation mobile communication network. EMT has been a pioneer in launching a number of significant solutions, including positioning, m-parking, mobile-ID and MMS services. Last year, the mobile-ID solution was used for providing the m-voting option at the parliament elections for the first time in the history of the world.

ment. The new logo was accepted and embraced by the customers. Introduced in all countries at once, the TeliaSonera logo received the warmest welcome in Estonia. The years 2011 and 2012 could be considered years of major investments for EMT. Our investments exceeded the initial plans, with investments in the 3G and 4G mobile communication network exceeding the 20-million-euro threshold. As a result, EMT’s 4G network covered 30% of the Estonian population at the end of 2011. According to the surveys conducted by the Technical Surveillance Authority as well as independent measurement bureaus Linkmes OÜ and Digita OY, EMT’s 3.5G network provides the highest-quality mobile data communication in Estonia. The investments, which exceeded those of our competitors, have thus started to bear fruit. We will continue our efforts also in 2012. The investments have provided us with a competitive edge in front of other operators – ultrafast mobile data broadband and excellent coverage across Estonia. The volume of webbased solutions and the related options is bound to increase in the upcoming years. EMT will come prepared, with its web-based telephone communication and the mobile television service launched in the spring. The development of online sales – i.e. online sales – has been slower than expected. Customers do love to sign up and manage their account via the web-based self-service facility, but our initial expectations were much higher. At the same time, we can see that the market for services ordered through the Internet is continually growing. The trend of handling business from the comfort of your own home is growing.

Internet usage is up, as well. Mobile data communication volumes grew by three times last

NORPE EESTI THE MOST COMPETITIVE SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISE

TIIT TOOMSALU: energy conservation and lowest life-cycle cost will be the keywords for the near future. Tiit Toomsalu is the CEO of Norpe Eesti

2012


NORPE EESTI Launched in 1953 in Porvoo, Finland, Norpe is a manufacturer of commercial refrigeration with one of the longest track records in Europe. In Estonia, we started out as a representative of Norpe OY Estonia in 1993, and continued as a subsidiary of Norpe OY in 1997. The company’s advantages lie in a wide assortment of refrigeration equipment provided to all businesses, from corner shops to hypermarkets. In recent years, Norpe has made extensive investments in CE-compliant testing laboratories, with the quality of each device tested before release.

According to Tiit Toomsalu, a sense of satisfaction is often a trap and makes everyday work dull and routine. “We should always establish new goals to aspire to,” he says. Nonetheless, Toomsalu says he is currently satisfied with the creation and implementation of the new strategy of the entire group (2012–2015), which Norpe Eesti OÜ is a part of.

The brand product market has provided a special branch of business for Norpe. In recent years, Norpe has supplied a number of manufacturers across Europe with the cooling equipment required for producing brand products.

Considering the economic environment, we have been highly successful, building on the long-term partner relations with major successful store chains. The investments of major chains differ, but we can still see a stable and positive development of the trade market, where Norpe Eesti is participating through its customers. Norpe’s strategic goal for the upcoming years is to strengthen its positions in Europe as well as the Baltic States. As regards Estonia, we are happy to see that our economic development has been relatively stable, despite the situation in the European Union. Economic growth is always accompanied by a growth in consumption. This, in turn, will provide a good foundation for business investments. Over the years, Norpe has always found opportunities to lower the cost price of its products, despite global raw material price fluctuations. At the same time, we have maintained the recognised high quality of the Norpe brand, and have made major investments in product development. The key lies in the lowest life-cycle cost, a measurable profit posted by the customers through the use of our products, and customer-focused product development. The increasing use of environment-friendly materials and refrigerants plays a vital role in product development. These processes have also been launched in Estonia, in cooperation with our major customers. We have become a firm market leader in Estonia in our product segment in recent years. The goal for the upcoming years is thus not only to maintain, but also to increase market share. Energy conservation is the keyword for the future – we will pay special attention to methods that allow to conserve energy in complex projects. We also strive towards increasing the market share of the Plug-In equipment, which forms a part of the Norpe brand. The competitive edge of the product series lies in high product quality and extensive experience in the sale of food industry brands on the Scandinavian market. Our incorporation in a major group also allows us to pursue projects contracted on the international level, but sold in Estonia, thus creating additional value for our economy. We are developing and growing together with our international and domestic key customers. We plan to enhance the volume of products and services offered in Estonia with the aim of providing additional value to our customers by boosting their turnovers and profits.

EESTI ENERGIA THE MOST COMPETITIVE INDUSTRIAL AND ENERGY ENTERPRISE

MARGUS KAASIK: market expansion has made us successful, even in harsh conditions. Margus Kaasik is the CFO of Eesti Energia

2012


EESTI ENERGIA Eesti Energia is an international energy company operating on the Baltic and Nordic energy markets. The company’s oil shale-related knowledge, unique skills and technology are much appreciated in the world. The secret behind the company’s success lies in a balancing act between the Estonian-based power grid, the regional energy market and the global liquid fuel business. Eesti Energia develops electrical energy and liquid fuel production as well as oil shale technologies and services. Common management of higher-risk business activities ensures quick growth and provides the owner – the Estonian government – with additional value. Eesti Energia has done well in the difficult economic environment. We could even say the company is doing better than during the boom times. The crisis has forced us to make quite a few decisions regarding expansion. Among other things, we invested in the new oil plant and power plant during the crisis. Crises provide time to prepare for growth. Fortunately we are in the position to make investments. To cope with the negative impact of the economic decline, we have enhanced efficiency and cut our fixed costs. We are also more vigilant of the use of assets and resources, as well as risk management and risk hedging. We have gained a lot from risk hedging in the downturn years – thorough analysis of the risks has made us even more successful. Our production unit operates at maximum efficiency, seizing all opportunities to produce further, faster and better.

The company is committed to adhering to environmental and safety requirements. The company operates under the name of Eesti Energia, but its long-term experience on a global scale is branded Enefit.

Product change and development is very difficult in our line of business – electricity remains electricity and oil is always oil. Therefore, we have opted for enhancing the production efficiency of our existing products. Rather than expanding the product portfolio, we have pulled back from some lines of business – a good example is the divestment of the KÕU service, which was sold to the telecommunication company Tele2 last year. Market expansion has made us successful, even in the harshest of conditions. Had we settled with selling electricity to Estonia alone, the 10% drop in consumption would have been devastating for the company. But since we now operate on the Baltic and Nordic markets, we have succeeded in selling –, at the energy exchanges or retail markets of other countries – all of the energy not consumed on the domestic market. We have been successful in branching out to new markets. The gradual opening of Latvia and Lithuania during the decline had a lot to do with it. We have now established a firm foothold in these countries.

EESTI ENERGIA’s RESULTS 2011 (thousands of euros)

Sales revenue I have three pieces of advice to other entrepreneurs: 1) maximise the efficiency of your processes and minimise cash outflow; 2) search for ways of conquering new markets, so that you wouldn’t depend on merely a handful of partners and options; 3) evaluate the risks: play out all scenarios and the corresponding solutions in your head before making decisions.

A. LE COQ THE MOST COMPETITIVE FOOD INDUSTRY ENTERPRISE

TARMO NOOP: we can produce all kinds of beer and other beverages in any type of packaging complying with the needs of the European market. Tarmo Noop is the Chairman of the Board of A. Le Coq

2012


A. LE COQ A. Le Coq is the oldest beer and beverage producer in Estonia.

I must admit the food industry is a relatively stable industry, with fluctuations of a few per cent not significantly complicating the business. The challenge lies in the fact that Estonia only has a population of 1.3 million people. Thus, once you have gained a considerable market share, you must commit yourself to export. The greatest change at A. Le Coq has been the enhancement of the technical capacity of the plant to ensure top quality on a global scale. In other words, we can produce all kinds of beer and other beverages in any type of packaging complying with the needs of the European market.

A. Le Coq & Co was established in 1807 in Prussia by a family of the same name. In 1820, Albert L. J. Le Coq relocated to London to trade with the products of the family’s wine chateau. He soon started to bottle and export the Russian imperial stout under his own name. High customs taxes and frequent trademark violations forced him to relocate the headquarters and brewery of A. Le Coq & Co (Russia) Ltd from London to St Petersburg in 1904. For years, the owners searched for a brewery for the production of the imperial stout in Russia. The final choice was made for AS Tivoli in Tartu. The company has been operating in Tartu ever since. The main brands of A. Le Coq currently include A. Le Coq, Fizz, Aura and Limonaad. The company exports products mainly to Finland, Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom, Latvia and Lithuania.

In domestic product development, our main goal is to surprise our customers, providing positive experience. We have become the market leader in a majority of our product groups, with not much space to develop at the expense of competitors. Growth in the upcoming years must thus rely mainly on export, which is also where we’ll focus in the future. Of course, it will not be easy and quick. Still, I am convinced that a well-planned, consistent effort will help achieve success. What would be my recommendation for other companies to be successful? Whatever the business, it is important to ascertain the critical factors that contribute to market success. You then need consistency and a strong will to make it happen. It is also important to search for growth opportunities, and especially to pay attention to boosting revenues rather than cutting costs.

RIIGI KINNISVARA THE MOST COMPETITIVE BUSINESS SERVICE AND REAL ESTATE ENTERPRISE

JAAK SAARNIIT: Estonia’s economy is on a path to recovery but with many ends still loose. Jaak Saarniit is the Chairman of the Board of Riigi Kinnisvara

2012


RIIGI KINNISVARA Riigi Kinnisvara AS (State Real Estate Ltd.) was established in 2001 with the aim of enhancing efficiency of the management of state real estate. With a share capital of 114.7 million euros, 100% of the shares of the real estate development and management company are held by the Republic of Estonia. The Ministry of Finance exercises control over the shares. The company has a six-member Supervisory Board, consisting of Taavi Rõivas, Arto Aas, Tarmo Porgand, Meelis Niinepuu, Kalev Kukk and Arnout D. Lugtmeijer. Riigi Kinnisvara AS has 126 full-time employees. Why should Riigi Kinnisvara AS concern itself with the economic environment – the state as the owner will always provide bailout, they say. In reality, things are quite different. We have the general meeting, featuring the very resolute minister of finance Jürgen Ligi, we have the Supervisory Board, an auditor who bases his opinion on the legal form of the company (i.e. a company governed by private law), real life, and a restricted budget meant to be adhered to.

The company has two subsidiaries: OÜ Hooldus Pluss is involved with the provision and development of real estate maintenance, landscaping and renovation services, while Erika Neli AS is engaged in real estate rental.

Our agreed-upon mission is not to exceed budget positions, as is the case with some local governments covered in the media. We have clear restrictions. A few years ago, when the revenue and service volumes plummeted, we had to downsize significantly, especially with regard to human resources: wages, operating expenses, general and administrative expenses. Our actions were similar to any other company operating in the Estonian business environment. Our Supervisory Board consists of both politicians and economists who rely on the principle that what is difficult for us will also not be easy for others. We tried to help the state and its different ministries by cutting their costs (i.e. rent) to quite an extent. The state provides us with all kinds of real estate – useful and useless. The more useless real estate we sell, the more funds we will generate for investment purposes. We are, indeed, witnessing a growth but the economic downturn is far from being over. The Estonian economy as a whole is on a path to recovery but there are still many loose ends. Problems faced by Europe will also be amplified in Estonia. The Ministry of Finance’s conservative approach to the state budget is thus also reflected in its position as the owner of Riigi Kinnisvara AS. I believe we should avoid new bubbles. This also concerns government sectors. We built a bunch of new schoolhouses back in our time, but are currently facing the question of how many schoolhouses we actually need – how many children will go to school tomorrow? As the company’s CEO, I tend to support the conservative approach. We must be very rational in deciding how many schoolhouses, police and fire departments we need. This is not an easy question. Indeed, there are huge numbers of people involved. Still, there is always an outlook for growth. In 2007, the state established its real estate strategy which forms the basis for our activities. Overall, metaphorically our portfolio is drawing near to the square meter. There is approximately 500,000 square meters of actively used space, with a certain amount of space still under development. We also have the historic Patarei Sea Fortress, which produces absolutely nothing. The portfolio is thus quite complicated. But in actual fact, we have doubled the space and capacity indicators in the last 18 months. Naturally, not everything has gone according to plan. Still, if the growth continues at the current speed, the performance indicators will be multiple times higher. Over the course of the last 18 months, a number of indicators have doubled, leaving us in a difficult position – how to recruit new staff or organise the work by ensuring sustainability. The outlook for the future still remains conservatively optimistic.

GOADVENTURE THE MOST COMPETITIVE TOURISM ENTERPRISE

OKSANA GOLOVINA: we were the first Estonian travel agency to be awarded the ISO9001 quality certificate at the beginning of the year. Oksana Golovina is the Managing Director and the Member of the Board of GoAdventure

2012


GOADVENTURE GoAdventure OÜ was registered as an Estonian travel agency in November 2006. Starting out with only a couple of employees, the company’s exceptionally fast and friendly services were immediately welcomed by customers. Excellent international partner relations have allowed the tour operator GoAdventure to be flexible. The company’s package tours have thus always been more favourably priced than in other agencies.

Our financial results reveal that we have done well, although the last two years have not been easy for any of us. We had to seize any opportunity to cut costs and boost revenues. We thus had to take steps to optimize the business – not pleasant at first, but fruitful at the end. We had to reorganise the team and divide the work between staff members in order to avoid using high-maintenance but low-efficiency employees whose value has been hyped during the boom-time years. Instead, we started training talented young people without much experience.

In 2008, GoAdventure ranked first in the list of biggest-selling travel agencies in Estonia. From November 2009, the tour operator GoAdventure forms a part of the Russian-Turkish-capital-based international group Tourism Holding & Consulting. The group incorporates several other travel agencies in Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Egypt and other countries. From May 2010, GoAdventure also serves as a tour operator.

We also optimised the portion of services outsourced, and started using our own resources to render services. This allowed to cut operating expenses by nearly 30%. We focused on quality by implementing a number of procedures which have been fundamental for successful quality management and efficiency enhancement. As a result, we became the first Estonian travel agency to be awarded the ISO9001 quality certificate at the beginning of 2012. As a tour operator, we made an effort to expand the hotel network at our destinations. This gave us more freedom in product pricing and helped to achieve the desired level of quality. In 2010-2011, our holding company TH&C purchased four hotels in Turkey (a four-star and three five-star hotels accommodating a total of 1,526 rooms). We implemented quality management procedures, including in our hotels, airline operator and incoming agencies, thus cutting costs while ensuring quality. We also optimised air travel, finding ways to offer customers the highest-quality flight service on new aircraft, along with several on-board services, without affecting the service price – in fact, at a more favourable price than before. Overall, we committed ourselves to ensuring the best price-quality ratio for the end-consumer in all areas, and were successful in our efforts. Naturally, the markets were expanded in the process – when a customer is offered the best and the highest-quality service on the market at the most reasonable prices on the market, it is easy to make a choice, but the task of the company’s management is to find a way to offer such services whilst generating a profit. There is always a solution to any problem, even though you might not like it. In times of difficulties, you need to make the right decisions, not necessarily the pleasant ones. When you love your work and your customers, and put your heart out, you will be inspired by ideas how to solve the hardest of problems.

ORLEN EESTI THE MOST COMPETITIVE WHOLESALE ENTERPRISE

TÕNU ÄÄRO: our success is built on a strong, professional, highly motivated team. Tõnu Ääro is the Chairman of the Board of Orlen Eesti

2012


ORLEN EESTI Established more than a century and a half ago, Orlen is among the leading fuel companies in Central Europe. In Estonia, the company mainly engages in wholesale of fuel, with a private customer service opened in 2010 for the provision of highquality fuel oil for household consumption. Orlen fuel is unique in that it is supplied directly by the producer. We do not use intermediaries, or other procedures to modify the quality or raise the price of the fuel. We do an honest business – clean and decent.

How did we manage in the difficult economic conditions? I wouldn’t say that the economic situation was more difficult in 2011 than in 2010 – in many respects, it was easier and clearer. The sector saw quite a few changes in 2011. Against the backdrop of a legislative amendment, the fuel market sorted itself out, and consumption increased to some extent. But this was also accompanied by tightening competition. To stay competitive, the company has expanded its customer base, reorganised the corporate structure and enhanced flexibility and transparency for the customers. Naturally, there is still a lot more to do in the area to improve efficiency and add to the competitive edge.

In Estonia, the company provides the products of Orlen Lietuva (formerly known as AB Mažeikių Nafta). In addition to Lithuania and Estonia, Orlen Lietuva also supplies fuel to Latvia, Ukraine and various Western European countries. Among other destinations, Orlen exports fuel to the United States. The recommendations of the leading vehicle manufacturers (Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Volvo, BMW, MAN, Porsche) as well as industrial equipment producers (Flender, Denison, Siemens) attest to the high quality of Orlen’s products.

Orlen Estonia only serves the Estonian market. We can thus gain a bigger market share but we cannot increase the size of the market itself. One of the things that pleases me the most is the activity of the Tax and Customs Board in combating illegal cross-border fuel trade at the border. What would we recommend to other companies for being as successful as Orlen Estonia? I am not going to lecture anyone, but I have personally always been a firm believer that success is guaranteed by a strong, professional and highly motivated team. Get these things right and your business will flourish.

TALLINNA KAUBAMAJA THE MOST COMPETITIVE RETAIL ENTERPRISE

RAUL PUUSEPP: the team is the key, and I am very lucky with mine. Raul Puusepp is the Chairman of the Board of Tallinna Kaubamaja

2012


TALLINNA KAUBAMAJA Tallinna Kaubamaja was established on 21 July 1960 with the launch of the stateowned Tallinna Kaubamaja (Tallinn Department Store). Tartu Kaubamaja was opened in 1966, and the B-wing of the Tallinna Kaubamaja in 1973. In 1994, the state-owned company became a public limited company, with E-Investeeringugrupp becoming the majority shareholder. In 1995, the first Selver store was opened in Punane street in Tallinn. A year later, the shares of Tallinna Kaubamaja were listed on the Tallinn Stock Exchange. In 1996, Tallinna Kaubamaja AS acquired 57% of the shares of AS Tartu Kaubamaja. We have followed the example of the Estonian economy, stepping on the accelerator in good times, and slowing it down in times of difficulties. Nonetheless, we have always succeeded in being somewhat more successful and efficient than the market average. Our group companies have done well – following the boom years, we have also succeeded in coping with the hard times, which are still not over. We have introduced some changes in the organisation of work and process management. Even though we have always focused on cost management and efficiency, we have to admit the boom-time years shifted our attention towards revenues and growth. The hard times forced us to tighten the belt. We have made no major changes with respect to the concept itself – Kaubamaja, Selver, shoe, car and cosmetics business. Still, there have been more discounts than there are usually. We adapted to the changed conditions, and did not start to wriggle straight away – we remained ourselves, i.e. a merchant offering high-quality goods and services at a reasonable price.

The extension of the Tallinna Kaubamaja was opened in Viru Centre on 15 April 2004, and the new Tartu Kaubamaja on 12 October 2005. In 2008, the company purchased the Suurtüki Naha- ja Kingaäri stores as well as AS ABC King. A year later, the first I.L.U. store was launched. The shoe store chain Shu was launched in 2010, with the new women’s and children’s department of Tallinna Kaubamaja opened in March 2012.

As regards geographical expansion, we focused our attention on the domestic market in the hard times. Still, we have closely monitored the situation on the neighbouring markets, remaining open to new business opportunities in Estonia. A good example is the Viking Motors car sales business, or the Topsec Turvateenused subsidiary established for the provision of security services. Mention must also be made of the fact that we never suspended our corporate development at times of difficulties – be it the upgrading of IT systems, development of the partner card programme, new Selver, ABC, SHU, I.L.U. stores or investments in the women’s and children’s departments of the Kaubamaja department stores in Tallinn and Tartu. Naturally, it would be smart to foresee and prepare, but this may not always work. It is thus important to be able to respond to changes, both foreseen and unexpected. Never pause and hope for the best – rather, take action! The team is the key, and I am very lucky with mine. I have succeeded in surrounding myself with colleagues whom I deeply appreciate, both as human beings and specialists. And put your heart in it! People are best at what they love.

TALLINNA KAUBAMAJA’s RESULTS 2011

At the end of 2006, Tallinna Kaubamaja purchased 100% of AS Kia Auto. AS Viking Motors was acquired in the summer of 2012.

TALLINNA SADAM THE MOST COMPETITIVE TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS ENTERPRISE

AIN KALJURAND: Port of Tallinn is one of the greatest investors in safety and environment in Estonia. Ain Kaljurand is the Chairman of the Board of Tallinna Sadam

2012


TALLINNA SADAM Tallinna Sadam (Port of Tallinn) is the largest commercial port complex in Estonia, playing a key role in the Estonian transportation system and economy as a whole. The Port of Tallinn is a public limited company, with the shares held by the Republic of Estonia. A state-owned public limited company means that, indirectly, each Estonian citizen holds more than 200 shares in the company. Even though it is a state-owned public limited company, the Port of Tallinn has its own articles of association and is governed by the Commercial Code and other Estonian laws, similarly to any other public limited company. Transit is among the areas subject to the most radical changes in Estonia. The Port of Tallinn has succeeded in adapting to these changes, becoming one of the pioneers and engines of growth in the area. The Supervisory Board and Management Board of the company could foresee the upcoming changes a decade ago, adopting a new strategy four years ago. We established three key objectives: firstly, to create a competitive environment between the operators; secondly, to launch new products and diversify freight, and thirdly, to create additional value for the goods. These keywords heralded major investments. As soon as we started discussing competition between operators, we came up against quite some opposition, which still prevails. Despite the difficulties, we succeeded in making investments and developing the infrastructure. Today the investment decisions have paid off, and more risks have been minimized than ever before.

The state-owned Port of Tallinn was established in April 1992. In 1996, the company became a public limited company. The Port of Tallinn has five harbours: Old City Harbour and Old City Marina, Muuga Harbour, Paldiski South Harbour, Paljassaare Harbour and Saaremaa Harbour. The company also owns the industrial park of Muuga Harbour and Paldiski South Harbour.

We have completed the new container terminal infrastructure at Muuga Harbour, and launched construction of one of the greatest logistical centres in the Baltic Sea – the former liquid bulk transit harbour has been transformed into a modern distribution centre with different freight and additional value. Muuga is pushing towards every harbour’s dream of becoming a major hub. It will not be long until the harbour will serve ocean-going vessels. The Old City Harbour located in the heart of Tallinn comes with renovated passenger terminals, a new cruise area and a marina. The preparation for an additional quay for cruise ships has been launched. The Old City Harbour has become the largest gateway to Estonia, serving more than eight million passengers a year. Paldiski South Harbour is continually developing, while Paljassaare Harbour is searching for new outlets. Changes are also planned in Saaremaa Harbour which could, in addition to passenger transport and tourism, also serve freight, thus boosting the island’s business volumes.

TALLINNA SADAM’s RESULTS 2011 (thousands of euros)

The harbours incorporated under the Port of Tallinn can only grow responsibly – i.e. by considering the interests of the residents and the environmental impact. Port of Tallinn is one of the greatest investors in safety and environment in Estonia. The sea may be managed, but not by violating the living environment. As a major company, we feel responsible for improving the living environment. The Estonian people appreciate the sea, and the sea is opening up to us. The sea has become important; Estonia has become a maritime country. Port of Tallinn has contributed to the process, whether by supporting the Maritime Days, or partnering up to enhance the Old City Harbour area with cafeterias, a market and a marina. The port’s role lies in creating the conditions and preconditions, i.e. building the infrastructure and guaranteeing equal opportunities. We must always be a step ahead, as well as take risks and stomach criticism. The risks taken have paid off – Port of Tallinn generates a third of the state’s owner’s income. The secret to the company’s success in recent years lies in a good balance of cooperation and competition, as well as dedicated team, consistent in aspiring towards the established goals.

MERKO EHITUS THE MOST COMPETITIVE CONSTRUCTION ENTERPRISE

ANDRES TRINK: the key to success lies in professional cooperation. Andres Trink is the Chairman of the Board of Merko Ehitus

2012


MERKO EHITUS

According to Andres Trink the company is not currently motivated to invest in business development – the profitability rate of the construction sector is extremely low at the moment. Trink believes that a well-balanced relationship between the contracting entity and the contractor should be built on professional cooperation. There is still room to develop in this respect.

Established at the beginning of the 1990s, Merko Ehitus operates on the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian markets. The company’s shares have been listed on the Tallinn Stock Exchange since 1997. At the end of last year, the group companies had a total of more than 900 employees. The company generated 219.3 million euros in revenue in 2011. The holding company Merko Ehitus incorporates Estonia’s leading construction company AS Merko Ehitus Eesti, the Latvian-based SIA Merks and the Lithuanian-based UAB Merko Statyba as well as the group’s real estate development unit together with its realestate-holding companies. The construction company has been awarded the international quality, environmental management and occupational health and safety certificates ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.

The private customer segment, which has always been very strong in Merko, more or less collapsed with the economic downturn. The company was forced to quickly re-orientate to state orders and cut costs. We did relatively well – our financial buffer allowed to maintain the market position as the leading construction company in the Baltic States. Still, we are not too pleased with the current economy – the low profitability rate in the construction sector fails to ensure a sufficiently attractive return on equity. Thus, the construction business as a whole is at a standstill – there is no appetite to invest in the area. One of the reasons is the overall situation on the construction market, where the contracting entities – including state authorities – focus only on price. This often fails to guarantee the desired end result. As construction is a complicated business which requires professional cooperation between all parties involved, leaving a majority of the risks with the contractor is not the way to go forward. We have significantly reduced residential development over the last three years, monitoring the market developments. The first cautious attempts at pursuing new development projects were taken this year. Our activities mainly revolve around the construction of engineering and infrastructure objects – a segment that did not even exist 10 years ago. In the near future, we will focus on boosting profitability and reinforcing our liquidity position. We do not aim to be the highest revenue-generating company. Rather, we are striving to be profitable. This year, we have thus also focused on cutting costs in areas and countries where the revenues fail to generate a profit.

ESPLAN THE MOST COMPETITIVE ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN ENTERPRISE

PRIIT PÄÄSO: success is ensured by a highly qualified and motivated team. Priit Pääso is the Managing Director of Esplan

2012


ESPLAN Esplan OÜ was established as an EstonianFinnish joint venture in 1987 within the framework of Estonian Rural Design. After Estonia regained its independence, the top managers of the Estonian Rural Design became the owners of the company. Esplan OÜ is engaged in large-scale project management, including architectural projects, with a number of well-known architects having served the company over the years. The company currently employs approximately 20 specialists who have worked for Esplan for an average 22 years. If we lined up all the buildings and facilities designed by Esplan over the course of 25 years, we would get a good-sized city. According to Priit Pääso, people can appreciate good architecture but often fail to see the huge contribution of the engineers behind it. Pääso believes the high quality of the work, consistent staff training, high staff motivation and excellent client relations to be the secret behind the company’s success. The significant professional experience gained over the years has allowed Esplan to establish a reliable relationship with its partners. The company is doing good business, with the post-crisis revenue increasing 3.5 times last year – no reason to complain. Above all, the company is blessed with its professional staff members and excellent clients. Architectural design involves two key components – architecture and engineering solutions. People are not often familiar with the fundamental nature of design – they consider the architectural solution to be the core of the design and fail to appreciate the contribution of engineers. The design market is relatively fragmented in Estonia and has yet to sort itself out, with huge fluctuations in price and quality. High-quality service comes at a price – the work involves a high level of responsibility and requires years of experience. By now, most of the clients have already understood that a good design requires time and money, and are willing to pay a good price for a quality service. As regards the current trends in architecture and design, energy efficiency continues to be the top priority. To remain competitive, Esplan continues to improve the organisation of work and enhance quality of the output. This requires consistent staff training in Estonia and abroad, as well as the purchase of new programs and equipment. Client relations remain a priority. Designing is a dynamic process – cooperation often produces the best ideas. The company’s plans for the near future depend largely on the construction market, which is expected to enjoy moderate growth. To ensure high quality, Esplan currently focuses on the Estonian market. Research into new markets is time-consuming. It would thus make more sense to buy out a local company.

SWEDBANK THE MOST COMPETITIVE FINANCIAL BROKERAGE ENTERPRISE

PRIIT PERENS: Estonians prefer mobile phones and computers to bank offices. Priit Perens is the Director General of Swedbank Eesti

2012


SWEDBANK Swedbank’s roots go back to the savings banks operating in Sweden in the 1820s, while the trademark itself was created in 2006 in cooperation with the Swedishbased FöreningsSparbanken and our local Hansapank. As a universal bank, Swedbank serves private and corporate customers in Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The bank has 317 offices in Sweden and over 200 in the Baltic States, plus the branch offices in Nordic countries, USA, China, Russia and Ukraine. Swedbank has a total of 9.5 million private customers and 622,000 corporate customers.

Swedbank has done well, considering the economic environment – we survived the bust, albeit posting only one-half of the 2008 profit in 2009. We have remained efficient and have built up a high-quality loan portfolio. We are very pleased with the efficiency enhancement, especially with the improvements in feedback collection and the responsible sale of credit products. Estonia has been a pioneer in the development of electronic channels and the customers are willing to adopt new solutions. Swedbank was the first to introduce mobile solutions in Estonia. These solutions are currently the most downloaded applications in the Estonian language, with the number of users constantly growing. The Estonian economy stands strong, as evidenced by the investments and loan decisions made. For example, Swedbank has invested approximately 35 million euros into Estonian companies – roughly 6% of the pension fund assets managed. In 2011, we granted a total of nearly half a billion euros in corporate loans and other investment products. What else could we improve? While developing modern service channels, we must not loose touch with classic customer service. Regardless of the actual reasons, we must ensure smooth operation of card payments. We are also planning to enhance exchange of information with our corporate customers – the bank holds a lot of important and necessary information for businesses, and also has the capacity to analyse data. For this purpose, we recently launched the business information portal in order to offer additional value to both our customers and the general public. We have developed responsible sales in consideration of the needs of the customer, as well as the consulting environment, mobile banking and smart phone applications. We are very glad to witness such a warm welcome to the new solutions – in June, the number of mobile payments exceeded the number of payments made in Swedbank offices for the first time in history, with a total of nearly 47,000 mobile payments effected. Swedbank develops its products and services on the basis of customers’ suggestions and feedback. Our polls reveal that customers are expecting personalised offers which support the general concept – this means daily communication with the bank, saving and borrowing. More and more people prefer telephone or e-mail consulting to office visits.

SWEDBANK’s RESULTS 2011 (thousands of euros)

Sales revenue Change in sales revenue (2010=100) Net profit

Customers expect the bank to understand their position and to advise them accordingly. Our customers can appreciate convenience and flexibility, but they mostly require a professional service and solutions tailored to the customer’s needs. Banks no longer serve as mere loan offices – they are responsible for economic stability in general. New trends include the aforementioned mobile solutions or pocket-banking.

TRUSTCORP THE MOST COMPETITIVE SERVICE ENTERPRISE

EERIK-NIILES KROSS: economic instability is not necessarily a bad thing. Eerik-Niiles Kross is the CEO of Trustcorp

2012


TRUSTCORP Established in 2001, Trustcorp OÜ is a successful local consulting firm. Based on Estonian experience, the company provides consulting to governments of countries striving towards independence, as well as to corporate structures. Trustcorp’s services are mainly targeted outside Estonia, with the customer base including, in addition to public authorities, shipping and energy companies.

According to Eerik-Niiles Kross, the much-discussed global downturn may not be bad for the consulting business, if the restless economy is also accompanied by political instability.

Trustcorp OÜ currently has five employees, with experts in their field involved in the process under a separate contract. Trustcorp’s customers appreciate reliability, a personal approach and professionalism, which is why the company does not believe in advertising itself through its customers.

Our main activity is the provision of consulting services in the field of strategic management and crisis management. We mainly provide consulting services outside Estonia – to customers in Europe, South Caucasus and Central America. Trustcorp’s customers include countries or movements facing a difficult political or security situation and are in need of support. As the economic volatility in recent years is often accompanied by political instability, economic instability might not necessarily be bad for our business. It would be great if the government structures of Estonia would, on the one hand, further exploit the options provided by the private sector in promoting the country and advancing its economic interests, and, at the same time, not be ashamed of supporting the export and foreign market entry efforts of Estonian enterprises through direct political means. This is what any country with export ambitions would do. Trustcorp’s services are highly specific. As regards competition, we are actually operating on a global market without effectively competing with anybody in Estonia. There is a great demand for consulting services, especially in the South Caucasus as well as the Balkan and Central American region. These are developing regions where solutions and reforms require the assistance of experienced experts. Our main goal for the future is to enhance the customer portfolio and continue offering highquality services to our customers. To further adapt to the market processes, we strive to focus on our advantages – flexibility, quick response, professionalism and efficiency.

RMK THE MOST COMPETITIVE AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY ENTERPRISE

AIGAR KALLAS: we must preserve the forest for future generations. Aigar Kallas is the Chairman of the Board of RMK

2012


STATE FOREST MANAGEMENT CENTRE (RMK)

RMK is planting more forest than ever before, and is boosting forest maintenance to ensure high-quality timber in the future. Chairman of the Management Board Aigar Kallas is hoping that RMK’s strategies will further enhance use of timber in Estonia. RMK’s production volumes have increased by 50 per cent since 2008, as reflected in both turnover and profit figures. Production volumes have grown despite the fact that the markets have been constantly changing throughout the period, and only some categories of goods have shown stable sales. At the same time, we have invested in production expansion, thus ensuring the fulfilment of the company’s long-term obligations – we must preserve the forest for future generations. Above all, we are very pleased with taking the next step in our core activity – forest growing. We are planting more forest than ever before, and breaking records in maintenance cutting. This serves to ensure that timber harvested in the state forest in the future will be of much higher quality than at the present.

Nearly one-half of the Estonian land area – 2.2 million hectares – is covered by forest, of which approximately 40% is owned by the state. These forests are maintained, grown and managed by the State Forest Management Centre (Riigimetsa Majandamise Keskus – RMK). With over 800 employees, RMK is charged with the task of protecting and safeguarding the state forest, planting and growing new forest, organising forestry work and selling timber, maintaining forest roads and monitoring fire hazards. Established in 1999, RMK is a state profit-seeking company with thousands of contractual employees. RMK incorporates the Elistvere Animal Park, Sagadi Forest Centre and Tartu Tree Nursery, and is a 70% owner of the Estonian-Finnish joint venture AS Eesti Metsataim.

The ever-tightening competition on the timber market necessitates cost-cutting. The best way to cut costs is to ensure punctual delivery of the goods to the customer. We must thus enhance production planning, which, in turn, starts with the evaluation of the available resources. The greatest changes in recent years involve reorganisation of the production process – using less to produce more. We also strive to enhance customer service – each customer only has a single RMK employee responsible for the provision of the service. We have tried to expand our product selection, e.g. by launching wood chips for energy production. At the same time, product groups such as sales of standing timber and collection of fallen timber has provided people with new opportunities to acquire cheaper firewood. RMK’s plans for the near future include large-scale reconstruction of forest roads and irrigation systems. The road and ditch network constructed in the Soviet times is in bad condition and needs to be mended. Otherwise, we would be forced to write off the extensive forest renovation and maintenance work already conducted.

RMK’s RESULTS 2011 (thousands of euros)

Sales revenue Forestry has always been a stability and volume-based business. Recent years have shown that this area is subject to the same principles as other fields. Customers must receive exactly the goods they ordered by the exact time that they need them. Timber producers must take this into consideration, and enhance flexibility of production accordingly. The highlights of recent years include investments in the plywood industry (expansion of the UPM Kymmene plant in Otepää and purchase of the Kohila veneer plant by Latvijas Fineris, Europe’s largest birch veneer manufacturer) and the cellulose industry (modernisation of the Horizon Pulp and Paper plant in Kehra).

Development and expansion can only be built on a wellthought-out plan. SMN Group has always focused on helping the customer to build a reliable and secure IT solution. In times of difficulties, we emphasised the importance of focusing on core activities – the strategy that helped us focus on the areas in which we are the most successful. Not only did this help the group to gain market share in four countries, but also to boost growth. One of the decisions made during the economic bust in 2008 was to develop the selection of the SMN Group’s own services. Through great difficulties, we launched the provision of maintenance services, which continues to grow with each passing year, as confirmed by the Prime Investment’s annual report on our IT services.

Santa Monica Networks was established in Finland in 1989. Three years later, the company branched out to Estonia and in 1999, the Cygate Group was established through the merger of Santa Monica Software and the Swedish-based Salcom Communications. In the process of an MBO at the beginning of 2003, the Estonian and Lithuanian subsidiaries were transformed into separate business units, with a new subsidiary established in Latvia. Santa Monica Networks AS forms a separate group, together with the Latvian-based Santa Monica Networks SIA, Lithuanianbased Santa Monica Networks UAB and Finnish-based Santa Monica Networks OY. The company focuses, above all, on the provision of network and security solutions as well as data centre full services and support services. The company’s customers include financial institutions, state authorities, large companies and private enterprises. The company’s partners are the world’s leading technology firms.

We also saw a rise in the demand for training services, and decided in 2011 to start offering training in information networks and security systems, initially only on the Finnish market. The SMN Group is represented in four countries: Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The resources and specific skills obtained in one country allow the group to be successful in others. The immediate goal is thus to repeat the success of the services of SMN Finland SantaCare Training in the Baltic States. We can already see much potential in this service.

The SMN Group continues to monitor and analyse market trends. After a thorough analysis, we decided to start offering data centre solutions, providing the customer with a full infrastructure package, starting from servers and data storage and ending with networks and security systems.

• Entrepreneurship Award

One of SMN’s primary goals is to develop the data centre business in all four countries. In recent years, many of our customers have been involved in implementation of corporate systems and infrastructure. By now, it is evident that they are trying to get the maximum out of their IT systems and do not rely merely on basic solutions. This requires extensive knowledge in IT systems, data exchange and security. Only companies that consistently invest in building knowledge and enhancing skills can serve as a good partner. Other growing trends include audio-visual conferences. The need for such services is not based on the just-in-case mentality, but rather on the economic pressure to cut travelling costs, save time, and enhance efficiency.



ENTREPRENEURSHIP AWARD

2012



Entrepreneurship Award 2012 For the 17th time in a row, the winners of the most prestigious of the awards – the Entrepreneurship Award – have been selected amongst Estonian companies. This year, the most enterprising companies were selected in four categories: Start-up of the Year, Exporter, Tourism Innovator and Foreign Investor.

In addition to honour and glory, the winners of each category will have the opportunity to take part in the World Innovation Forum, a high-level international conference to be held in New York City in June 2013.PKC Eesti AS also has the honour of serving as a member of the jury in the 2013 competition. The winners were selected on the basis of real economic results, by taking into consideration the subjective assessments of state representatives as well as the company’s progress and outlook for the future.

The Entrepreneurship Award is the competition with the longest traditions in Estonia, and is held by Enterprise Estonia (EAS), relying on the support and assistance of experts in selecting three of the best companies in all categories to be nominated for the award. The jury then selected the category winners among the nominees to be nominated as overall winner. In 2012, PKC Eesti AS – a company mainly involved in contractual manufacturing of wiring systems for the trucking and electronics industry – was declared the overall winner of the Entrepreneurship Award competition.

The top Estonian companies in 2012 were announced on September 20 in the Estonia Concert Hall. The award ceremony was broadcast by Eesti Televisioon. Co-funded by the European Social Fund, the competition is held at the same time as the Estonian Companies’ Competitiveness Rankings compiled by the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Further information on the competition is available at www.eas.ee/auhind

The competition is held with the aim of acknowledging companies who have done a good job promoting the enterprising spirit, encouraging foreign investor activity, supporting the growth and export ambitions of local enterprises – i.e. contributing to economic growth.

OVERALL WINNER OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP AWARD 2012

PKC EESTI FOREIGN INVESTOR

IVO VOLKOV: our customers appreciate flexibility. Ivo Volkov is the Chairman of the Management Board of PKC Eesti


PKC EESTI PKC Eesti AS is mainly engaged in the production of wiring systems, serving as contractor for the truck and electronics industry. The company believes that the reason that major customers prefer the services of PKC lies in the long-term experience in wiring and cable manufacturing as well as a highly trained and professional staff.

According to Ivo Volkov, the company’s customers have always prioritised product quality, supply reliability and price. In the current unstable economic situation, however, flexibility plays a key role. An excellent staff has allowed PKC Eesti AS to succeed in the harshest of economic conditions. Customers are very pleased with us. This indicates that we have succeeded in meeting their expectations even at the most complicated of times. Alongside production services, we have started offering more and more development services to our customers, with respect to both enhancement of existing and development of new products. We aim at being as good a partner to our customers as possible, widening the service selection and continually improving service quality and flexibility. We also unremittingly strive to enhance efficiency in our daily activities. The expectations of our customers have not changed much over the years. Product quality, supply reliability and price have always been and will continue to be the priority. But the role of flexibility is increasing in the unstable economic environment – to stay alive, you need to either boost production or downsize as soon as the need arises. At the same time, you need to implement new products at a growing speed. Above all, PKC Eesti AS focuses on serving its geographical area – i.e. Northern Europe. Our parent company, PKC Group Oyj, has been expanding to both Central Europe and North and South America in recent years. Indeed, we strive to close the distance to our customers in order to maintain flexibility.

RAGN-SELLS AS

MOLYCORP SILMET AS

The story of Ragn-Sells began 120 years ago when the Sellberg family started rendering transport services and, later on, waste management services in the vicinity of Stockholm. By today, Ragn-Sells is the top waste management company in Sweden, with subsidiaries in Norway, Poland, Denmark, Latvia and Estonia. Ragn-Sells employs nearly 2,300 people, and generates an annual turnover in excess of 500 million euros.

Molycorp Silmet AS is one of Europe’s largest rare metal and rare earth metal manufacturers and the only processor outside China with such a wide range of high-purity products. The company is global, indeed – 99% of the materials used for production are purchased from outside Estonia (mainly Brazil, USA and Russia), with 99% of the output sold abroad (mainly European Union, USA and Japan). Molycorp Silmet has three plants: rare earth metals plant with an annual production of 3,000 tonnes, rare metals plant with an annual production of 700 tonnes, and a metallurgy plant.

In Estonia, Ragn-Sells started out in 1992 as the first privately owned waste management company. Currently employing nearly 260 people, the company collects and recycles approximately 145 types of waste, including municipal waste, packaging, industrial waste, construction and demolition waste, biodegradable waste, hazardous waste, electronic and electrical waste as well as polluted soils. The company recycles materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal, rubber and wood. In 1996,Ragn-Sells was among the first in Estonia to start collecting and promoting waste paper. In 2002, the company started granting the annual recycler-of-the-year award. The unique packaging bag service was launched for private customers for free-of-charge collection of packaging waste in 2003. The first waste processing plant in Estonia was opened in 2005. In 2011, Ragn-Sells AS launched the waste fuel plant – one of a kind in Scandinavia and the Baltic States – and was awarded an award for environment project of the year. Ragn-Sells is among the few waste management companies whose service network covers both mainland Estonia and the islands, with a pan-Estonian licence to operate. RagnSells is also the only company capable of processing different types of waste in a comprehensive manner. www.ragnsells.ee

ESTELAXE OÜ

IGNITE OÜ

Estelaxe OÜ was established in 2008 but the story began a few years earlier. Established in 1993, the main activity of Lapi MT AS was the production of metal products and metal constructions. In 2008, a new company was established. Fully based on Estonian private capital, Estelaxe OÜ manufactures polyurethane products, currently employing 35 people.

Established in 2010, Ignite OÜ creates tailor-made software solutions. In addition to programming, the company also offers a high-level and highquality software development service – from implementation of the development process to delivery of the desired product. Ignite OÜ believes that software creation and pursuit of business goals should rely on goal-orientation, close cooperation with the customer and high quality of the product.

Estelaxe manufactures elastomer, soft foam and plastic products – snow plough blades, seats, backrests and headrests, pillows and mattresses, snowmobile and train seats. The company started out with seat cushioning, purchasing the equipment and launching the service. It then proceeded to manufacturing ABS, HPDE and elastomer details by using vacuum sheet forming. At the time, elastomer was more or less unheard of in Estonia. The material enables to manufacture products with manifold characteristics: rubber-like elastic as well as rigid details, e.g. transmission main shafts and gears. The company currently exports 95% of its output to Finland, and is a firm believer in the material. At the end of the summer, Estelaxe OÜ plans to purchase an elastomer casting machine, which will enable it to significantly enhance productivity and quality and let it conquer new markets. www.estelaxe.ee

CREATIVE MOBILE START-UP OF THE YEAR

VLADIMIR FUNTIKOV: we turned the complicated economic situation to our advantage. Vladimir Funtikov is the Founder and the CEO of Creative Mobile


CREATIVE MOBILE Creative Mobile started out with a bang – the company’s first mobile phone game Basketball Shots 3D has received over 7.4 million downloads and is among the most popular sports games for the Android platform. The next edition, Drag Racing received 60 million unique downloads (Android andiOS) in six weeks. The game itself is free of charge, unless the player wants to upgrade the racing car to a fancier version. Drag Racing is currently the number one racing application for mobile phones, also provided for the iOS platform. The game ranks first in 50 countries, having received a million downloads in its first week. The extension of the game was released under the name of Drag Racing: Bike Edition. Vladimir Funtikov believes that a complicated economic situation actually serves the people’s interest, allowing them to pursue new opportunities. This is exactly how he started his business. With Creative Mobile established only two years ago, our activities cannot be compared to old-timers who have probably been much more affected by the economic decline. We launched our business in 2009, when the founders had lost their day jobs and were searching for new opportunities. The difficult economic situation allowed us to pursue our own ideas – we simply took advantage of the situation. The difficult situation also allowed us to recruit competent staff members. We kept a low profile at the beginning – we did not dare to recruit new staff or seek investments. In time and through effort, we found the right business model for Creative Mobile. A few years later, we are employing more than 50 people.

The creative team behind the social and mobile games is Creative Mobile OÜ, established in 2010 by Vladimir Funtikov, Sergei Panfilov and Serhiy Slyeptsov. The company operates on the international market and is included in the TOP10 Android Market (Google Play) and TOP100 Apple AppStore fieldworkers’ list. Creative Mobile received the title of Google Top Developer in 2011 and was granted a Webby Award in 2012. www.creative-mobile.com

Our business is to create mobile phone games. The consumption of these games has increased by several times, despite the global economic situation. We have an office in Tallinn, and use partners to outsource game ports or components in other countries, such as Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania. Our games are available all over the world, with the biggest number of customers in USA (30%), followed by Russia, United Kingdom and Germany (3.7–3.9%). We plan to create and launch several new games and branch out in the near future. For this purpose, we have created a new department charged with the task of creating social network games (e.g. games in Facebook) and explore new mobile phone platforms, such as Windows RT. We also plan to enhance cooperation with our partners in Asia – the smart phone and tablet penetration in the region can be compared to that of North America, but the distribution channels and user attitudes are quite different.

VIHULA MANOR HOLIDAY VILLAGE TOURISM INNOVATOR

KADI ELMESTE: Vihula Manor’s guests are looking for exhilarating cultural and nature experiences as well as great entertainment. Kadi Elmeste is the Sales & Marketing Manager of Vihula Manor Country Club & SPA


VIHULA MANOR HOLIDAY VILLAGE Located in Lääne-Viru County, the elegant 16th century Vihula Manor is one of the greatest manor complexes in the Baltic States. Opened in the spring of 2012, the Holiday Village offers a unique manor atmosphere with all the modern-day conveniences. Distinguished from the rest of the manor complex by its romantic village setting, the Vihula Manor Holiday Village welcomes both longer-term visitors and one-day tourists.

According to Kadi Elmeste, the guests of one of the largest manor complexes in the Baltic States are looking for exhilarating cultural and nature experiences as well as great entertainment. They are often amazed by the high quality of the experiences provided in the rural area. We have done well and can be satisfied with the results for our first summer. The renovation of the old and stately Vihula Manor complex was fully completed in May. The summer thus allowed us to test the facilities. We have now gained experience and are better prepared. We are very pleased that the 800-year-old manor has become popular among both Estonians and foreigners. We have excellent relations with the local community, serving as the biggest employer in the area, with great entertainment. This summer, we organised numerous concerts for a total of over 10,000 people. We also had a big Midsummer Day party, an international classic cars exhibition, a doors open day with free-of-charge services, family days, fairs, etc. We were very popular and will surely organise further events in the future. The guests of Vihula Manor mainly come with two expectations: an exhilarating nature experience and great entertainment. We are located in the heart of the beautiful Lahemaa National Park with a versatile natural environment, well-tended nature trails, romantic coastal villages and other lovely sites. Vihula Manor offers exciting entertainment as well as highquality services to allow the guests to relax in a natural environment, enjoy the delicacies of the Vihula Manor restaurant and pub, and either have an active holiday or spend their time swimming in the pool and enjoying the spa services. We are often told that the high quality of our services has exceeded all expectations, and no-one could have imagined such a wide range of services would be available in a rural location. Vihula Manor is also an exciting destination for business outings. The manor currently houses eight seminar rooms, with conference and seminar guests being our key customers for 10 months of the year. Estonians remain our key target group, with high-quality seminar facilities available within an hour’s drive from Tallinn. Vihula Manor is also gaining popularity on the foreign markets. Our key international markets include Finland and Russia, as well as Germany and Lithuania.

AHHAA SCIENCE CENTRE FOUNDATION

ESTONIAN HISTORY MUSEUM’S GREAT GUILD HALL

The AHHAA Science Centre was conceived by three Jaaks: the physicists: Jaak Kikas, Jaak Jaaniste and Jaak Aaviksoo. The Jaaks had the initial idea of building a science centre when visiting the Tartu Old Observatory. In 1997, the idea was transformed into a project at the University of Tartu. The AHHAA Science Centre Foundation was established in 2004. After a lengthy wait, the new building finally opened its doors to the public with the aim of promoting science in a fascinating and interactive way.

The Great Guild Hall of Tallinn was completed in 1410 as the representative office for the Hanseatic tradesmen of Germany. By today, it has become one of the most prominent buildings in Tallinn Old Town, with a high architectural value. After complete reconstruction, the History Museum re-opened the Great Guild Hall for visitors in the spring of 2011, continuing the 600-year tradition of public use of the building.

By today, more than 200 000 people of all ages have visited the AHHAA centre. The centre’s main attractions are hands-on exhibitions, including the planetarium and the science theatre shows. Tour buses visit the centre from all over Estonia, with the science theatre and workshops (e.g. chocolate preparation or pig’s eye dissection) travelling out to schools, festivals, fairs and corporate events. AHHAA also has a 4D adventure and exhibition space in Tallinn and Tartu. The foundation is the organiser of a science festival and coordinator of the pan-Estonian Researchers’ Night, and has served as the co-organiser of an invention competition. Night camps and city camps are held for young science buffs, and science cafés for adults. www.ahhaa.ee

Ninety per cent of the interior of the Great Guild Hall is currently open to visitors. The building accommodates the history museum’s new interactive permanent exhibition “Spirit of Survival – 11,000 Years of Estonian History”, along with open-air exhibitions in the Börsikäik and the courtyard. The history museum’s exhibition provides one of the most modern and fascinating museum environments, presenting a panorama of Estonian history. Unique solutions include the interactive time capsule, the dragon journey for the children, the experimentarium and the armoury. The medieval building, which is under heritage protection, has also made an effort to ease the visits of handicapped people. Both the Great Guild Hall itself and its permanent exhibition have garnered a lot of recognition, receiving the Developer of the Year 2011 award from the City of Tallinn, Estonia’s best refurbished museum award Museum Rat 2011, and the Heritage Protector of the Year 2011 award in connection with the renovation work conducted. The Great Guild Hall is also represented on the Tallinn design card 2012. www.ajaloomuuseum.ee

MOLYCORP SILMET EXPORTER

DAVID O’BROCK: you need to foresee customer needs several years in advance. David O´Brock is the Member of the Board of Molycorp Silmet


MOLYCORP SILMET Molycorp Silmet AS is one of Europe’s largest rare metal and rare earth metal manufacturers and the only processor outside China with such a wide range of high-purity products. The company is global, indeed – 99% of the materials used for production are purchased from outside Estonia (mainly Brazil, USA and Russia), with 99% of the output sold abroad (mainly European Union, USA and Japan). Molycorp Silmet has three plants: rare earth metals plant with an annual production of 3,000 tonnes, rare metals plant with an annual production of 700 tonnes, and a metallurgy plant.

According to David O’Brock, it is very important to look ahead and think big. If you are able to foresee the needs of your customers several years in advance, you will be able to serve them in a much more efficient fashion. Molycorp Silmet AS has not merely coped with the market changes but been able to foresee future trends, and coordinate production accordingly. We are happy to see the positive frame of mind among the Molycorp Silmet staff, and their desire to serve as a part of the Molycorp family. In the wake of the difficult years, we must learn to dream big and boldly make ideas reality. We always foresee the needs of our customers at least two years in advance – this will provide us with sufficient time to develop product specifications accordingly. A good example is the enhancement of the niobium production capacity after our customers for the metal shared their growth plans with us several years ago. Now that the demand for niobium has grown, we are able to meet the needs straight away. Molycorp Silmet will soon face further changes. We will soon be opening the new metal and oxide laboratory – the most cutting-edge facility I have ever laid my eyes on. Naturally, we have other plans and will announce them to the public in accordance with the rules established for corporations listed on the stock exchange. We have succeeded in enhancing our presence in various markets, which we could never have entered without the help of Enterprise Estonia.

ELME MESSER GAAS AS

FORTUMO OÜ

In 1999, one of Estonia’s leading industrial groups, AS BLRT Grupp, and one of the world’s leading gas companies, Messer Group GMBH, decided to join hands in establishing a new Estonian company – AS Elme Messer Gaas. The newly established company was charged with the task of supplying gas to various industries – e.g. metal, medical, chemical, glass, electronics, food, paper, environmental and even the space industry. The company offers oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, welding gas, medical gas as well as hydrogen and other gases.

In 2009, Fortumo OÜ ranked among the top three most successful exporters in Estonia. In 2011, the company was granted both the Exporter 2011 award and declared the overall winner of the Entrepreneurship Award.

Elme Messer Gaas currently operates in Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine as well as the Kaliningrad oblast and St Petersburg in Russia, employing a total of nearly 300 specialists. In 2012, the company launched new, contemporary gas plants in Liepāja (Latvia) and Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine). A similar plant is also scheduled to be opened in Vaivara Municipality in Estonia. These investments will increase Elme Messer Gaas’s production volumes by more than 20 times. www.elmemesser.ee

The secret behind the company’s success lies in the development of an international mobile payment platform that allows the online gaming industry, web businesses and social networks to collect payments from their customers. Spinning off from the Estonian leading mobile service provider Mobi Solutions in 2007, Fortumo currently renders services in 70 countries in Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Africa. With an office in Tartu, Fortumo has also established a hold in the Silicon Valley – a dream for many – and will open its first Asian office in Beijing in 2012. Ninety-five percent of the company’s revenue is generated in foreign markets. Fortumo’s customers include the world’s leading game and internet service developers, e.g. Angry Birds, Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Badoo, TopEleven, as well as global mobile operators. Customers appreciate the geographic coverage of Fortumo’s services, and the opportunity to seek profit in emerging markets where a credit card or bank link is unavailable to many. www.fortumo.com

CLEVERON OÜ “The most modern and efficient parcel delivery solution in the world.” That’s the slogan used by the parcel terminal and software producer Cleveron OÜ, formerly known as SmartPOST. The company has good reason to be proud. More than 20% of people in Estonia have already used the SmartPOST service provided via the Cleveron technology. With over 2,000 corporate clients, the company holds a 30% share of the Estonian parcel delivery market. Cleveron OÜ offers a modern logistical solution for parcel delivery. The solution consists of parcel terminals that allow clients to send and receive parcels on their own, software solutions that control the operation of the parcel terminals as well as business processes and business model that allows to run the entire network of parcel terminals in an efficient and profitable manner. All this not only in Estonia but also in Finland and Russia. Cleveron’s success story goes back to 2006, when the project initiators launched the provision of logistics services in ON24 AS. A year later, SmartPOST OÜ was established, introducing the self-service parcel terminal. In 2009, SmartPOST launched the Automatic Parcel Terminal network in Estonia, winning the Logistics Accomplishment of the Year award at the annual logistics conference. The network was then sold to the Finnish company Itella Corporation, with the Estonian company renamed Cleveron OÜ. www.cleveron.eu

MEIREN ENGINEERING OÜ

NORTAL AS

Established in 2003, Meiren Engineering OÜ originally only offered design and other engineering services. However, as one of the founders had snow plough designing experience and there was great demand for snow ploughs on the local market, the company decided to proceed with product development. The snow plough became the engineering company’s own product. The first prototypes were sold on the local market, with each new plough improving on the previous one. Within a few years, the first sales were made in Finland. Today Meiren Snow is a well-established trademark in Scandinavia and the Baltics, with a significant market share in many countries.

“We don’t specialise in everything. We focus, and do it well,” it says on the website of Nortal AS. And they could be right: named the most family and employer-friendly company in 2008 and again in 2010, Nortal was among the top 30 quickest-growing Central and Eastern European companies in 2008–2009, and among the top 500 fastest-growing technological companies in the EMEA. In the Entrepreneurship Award ceremony in 2009, the company was pronounced the best at adapting to the economic downturn. In 2011, the chairman of the board Priit Alamäe and member of the board Taavi Kotka accepted the Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

The Scandinavian machine industry is among the world’s most innovative. With excellent product development, customer service and after-sale service, Meiren has succeeded in making a way through tough competition, becoming a pioneer in snow control in the entire region.

Nortal AS (formerly known as Webmedia Group) is the largest international software development company in the Baltic States, offering tailormade IT solutions to public and private sector companies in the Nordic countries, Baltic States, Russia, Persian Gulf countries, Africa and elsewhere. Nortal produces solutions for the telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare industry and the public sector. The company has more than 650 employees in eight countries, with over 75% of the turnover generated outside Estonia. The company’s new business name, launched only in May 2012, combines two English words – Nordic and talent.

In addition to snow ploughs, the company’s development plans include other products that have nothing to do with snow. Smart decisions are expected to make Meiren one of the leading machine producers in Estonia. The company also promotes education in engineering, showing young Estonians that there are other areas beside IT that provide for self-actualization. www.meiren.ee

Best Student Company 2012

Student Network At the beginning of the last academic year, five enterprising students in the 11th grade of Tallinn Secondary School No 21 decided to do some good and change life in Estonia for the better. The ideas from brainstorming sessions were transformed into the student company Student Network, which provides basic school students with the option of contacting secondary school students for help in overcoming learning difficulties. Joan Kangro, Silver Vapper, Martin Tammvee, Geithy Sepp and Anete Advelk, who recently successfully participated at the European Competition, the international student company competition in Bucharest, which experience do you yourself appreciate the most and what have you learned professionally?

“It is important to be motivated, take risks, try out new things, keep an eye on what’s going on in the world of business, and just do many things yourself.”

We are lucky that we established our own company and never gave up! JOAN KANGRO, CEO I have improved my people skills and gained media communication experience in Student Network, as well as teamwork experience. It is important to believe in your ideas. We couldn't get things started at the beginning, because we didn’t know how difficult it actually is to launch a business. Then one day, after we had just got media attention, my mobile phone just kept ringing all day, with everybody wanting some tutoring, I suddenly realized: bingo! We are lucky that we established our own company and never gave up! Another important lesson I learned was: never settle for less! We could have stopped at the service we created, but we kept on developing – we introduced the tutoring-via-Skype service, we prepared the study materials and launched a computer training service for senior citizens. I also realised that, when you need to do things you don’t like, do them well! It’s very good for business. Still, the most important thing is to create a bond of trust with the customer. In the beginning, we were worried that the students’ parents would not trust us. In such cases, you just need to believe in what you are doing, and just keep doing it.

• Entrepreneurship Award


SILVER VAPPER, financial manager When you are building a company, you need to be persistent, rather than starting out with a bang and then fading into the background. We, too, had some passive periods. A good businessman should avoid them. While running one’s own business, one should also look into what others are doing. We have participated in student company fairs and conferences all over Estonia, building contacts on the way. My communication skills have significantly improved; I have talked to loads of complete strangers. I am now much more self-confident. I’m sure my business skills have improved, as well – building a business requires learning the terminology and delving in.

MARTIN TAMMVEE, development manager I have learned a lot about business. If I was to establish a new company, I would avoid a lot of mistakes – I would pay more attention to finances, for one thing. We had some problems at one point, as we failed to realise the importance of finances. Among other things, I have acquired all basic skills, like how to get things done, even the most difficult of things, and how never to stay in your comfort zone but rather to keep pushing.

GEITHY SEPP, human resources manager A lot of what I’ve learned I will take with me into my professional life. We now know the taste of business, at least a part of it. Business is not as easy as it seems! One of the lessons I learned was never to approach the target group directly. It took us time to realise that. We wanted to conduct market research but let’s face it – it is quite difficult to do reliable research among students. We started out with questionnaires during breaks, but the results were not 100% reliable. We then realised – to reach the students, we had to take the message straight to their parents. I personally also got a good experience in designing, coming up with the structure for reports and the like. I would definitely want to continue the project – we have an excellent business idea; it would be a shame to stop now. There is a great need for the service within the society, and we have got a lot of positive feedback. Let’s hope the Student Network also has prospects for becoming a real company one day.

ANETE ADVELK, marketing manager It is important to be motivated, take risks, try out new things, keep an eye on what’s going on in the world of business, and just do many things yourself. Our strength is in doing everything ourselves, without any outside assistance. As marketing manager, I would say direct marketing is very important and necessary. A TV or radio advertisement of a service will get your attention, but direct communication will go even further. Of course it was difficult to find and contact the target group at the beginning. We visited schools to introduce our service, but there are many schools in Tallinn, and it is quite exhausting to keep telling the same story every day. Furthermore, we had still not ascertained our target group. We then realised that parents still make decisions on behalf of fifth- to ninth-grade students and decided to focus on them. I consider social responsibility to be very important. Education plays a key role in our future lives. Helping people makes me feel good.

IDEA

Student Network, the Best Student Company 2012, has developed a smart service – teaching basic school students in need of support and tutoring, especially in sciences but also in humanities. Secondary school students currently teach students within and in the vicinity of Tallinn. The ambitious plan for the next academic year is to launch a pan-Estonian tutoring service. It is the only tutoring network in Estonia that allows students to study over Skype. In creating additional services, the youngsters were inspired by their own grandparents, who often had trouble with computers. The grandchildren grabbed the bull by the horns. By today, pensioners have a possibility of taking PC classes.

STUDENT NETWORK At the end of the 10th grade, three Tallinn Secondary School No. 21 students Joan Kangro, Silver Vapper and Martin Tammvee were figuring out how to establish a student company of their own. Joan’s older brother already served as a good example, being a part of SockMe – the Best Student Company award winner in 2011. With Geithy Sepp and Anete Advelk joining the project the previous academic year, the student company was set to offer tutoring services to basic school students. The Student Network had thus been established. It was not easy in the beginning. For instance, the five youngsters tried to conduct market research among young people at Viru Centre, but were thrown out the first time due to failure to coordinate their activities with the centre’s management. The target group and the marketing channels also proved difficult. But everything worked out eventually. Today the Student Network has over 100 regular customers, i.e. students who regularly purchase tutoring services, as well as single-purchase customers. The student company actively introduces itself through its website, Facebook, at schools, in student fairs and conferences as well as through print media and television (e.g. Ringvaade). To further develop the student company, the tutoring-via-Skype service was launched, with the corresponding study materials prepared. Even the winter holidays were spent on developing new services. As a result, senior citizens now have the option of polishing their computer skills in personal computer classes. Student Network has been proclaimed the Best Student Company 2012 and granted the media coverage award at the Estonian Student Company Fair as well as the sales award at the Swedish Student Company Fair. The student company has also gained experience in the European Competition – the international competition for student companies, held in Romania. Still, the youngsters do not intend to rest on their laurels. In the 12th grade, they will continue as shareholders and supervisory board members, searching for new cooperation partners and developing new services – the new management board has already been chosen to address everyday business matters. The plans are ambitious – the youngsters are planning to appoint regional managers who will start offering tutoring services all over Estonia. Agreements have already been concluded in several cities. The student company plans to increase the number of tutors to 40, also recruiting some firstyear college students. Joan, Silver, Martin, Geithy and Anete will then take stock and decide on whether to establish a real company. www.studentnetwork.ee www.facebook.com/OFStudentNetwork

2012


2011– a year of economic growth

Leev Kuum Senior Researcher, Estonian Institute of Economic Research

Although a year of great difficulties and uncertainties in the European Union, 2011 turned out to be quite successful for the Estonian economy, exceeding the forecast of the beginning of 2011. The results reveal that the economy has rearranged itself during the downturn, and is now more efficient than ever. This is best evidenced by the huge growth in export capacity. The perfectly timed government austerity programme showed Estonia in a positive light on a global scale – we are a testament to the sustainability of an economic policy of avoiding excessive borrowing and overspending. At the same time, heavy budget restrictions raised the unemployment rate, cut social benefits, reduced state investments, among other effects. The year 2011 will go into history as the year the euro was adopted – i.e. the recognition of our country as worthy of the common currency. The

introduction of the euro lowered the cost of borrowing and increased the country’s attractiveness for investors. Still, the true impact of the accession to the euro zone is yet to be determined. The year 2011 was characterised by quick economic growth, current account surplus, a one-third rise in export, establishment of new companies, improvement in employment, a significant increase in profitability of businesses, etc. There is thus good reason to call the year 2011 the year of economic growth (in the business cycle). Let’s have a closer look.

EMPLOYMENT (annual average number of the

The GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) increased by 7.6% in 2011, amounting to 16.0 billion euros in current prices (14.3 billion euros in 2010; a record-breaking 16.3 billion euros in 2008). The main contributors to the value added included the processing industry, construction industry and IT and communications. Unlike last year, the breakdown by quarters shows a deceleration of the growth in GDP: 9.5% in the first quarter, 8.4% in the second quarter, 8.3% in the third quarter and 4.5% in the fourth quarter.

bottoming out at 10.9% in the third quarter.

GDP calculated based on the expenditure method reveals that the economic development was supported, above all, by the high external demand. Fuelled by investments, domestic demand grew as well (by 11%). Despite the low base, private consumption only increased by 4% (a decrease of 16.1% and 1.8% in 2009 and 2010, respectively) and investments by 27% (a decrease of 38.0% and 9.0% in 2009 and 2010, respectively). The share of investments in total GDP increased, to some extent, amounting to 21.5%; the share of private consumption and public sector end-consumption was 49.6% and 19.5%, respectively.

employed) grew by 38,000 (i.e. 6.7%), amounting to an annual average of 609,000 (a recordbreaking 656,000 in 2008). The number of the employed grew with each quarter, peaking at 628,000 in the third quarter. Industry was the biggest contributor to the growth in employment – 13,000 people. The employment rate increased to 61% in the third quarter, falling short of the record-breaking 63.3% in the third quarter of 2008. The unemployment rate retreated from 16.9% in 2010 to 12.5% in 2011, There was an annual average of 87,000 unemployed people – 29,000 less than in 2010. The unemployment rate was higher among men (13.1% for men; 11.8% for women), but the gap narrowed during the year. The average number of people unemployed for a longer period of time (more than 12 months) was 49,000, of whom 28,000 had been searching for a job for over 24 months. CONSUMER PRICES rose by an annual average of 5% in 2011 (2010 – 3.0%): 5.4% in the first quarter, 5.2% in the second quarter, 5.3% in the third quarter and 4.1% in the fourth quarter (year-on-year). The 9.7% increase in the price of food and non-alcoholic beverages made up two-fifths of the total price increase, with the 6.2% rise in the price of heat energy and 12.2% rise in the price of engine fuel contributing another one-fifth. The price of goods was 3.4% and services 4.4% higher in December 2011 than in 2010. The regulated process of goods and services were 6.5% and non-regulated prices 2.8% higher in December, compared to 2010. The quicker-than-expected increase in

inflation (3.5%) was partially conditioned by the commodity price hikes on the global markets. The EXPORT OF GOODS grew by 37% at current prices in 2011, amounting to 12.0 billion euros – the second best results in the post-occupation republic (the previous record of 8.75 billion euros dates back to 2010). The export turnover broken down by quarters: 2.74 billion euros in the first quarter, 3.17 billion euros in the second quarter, 3.06 billion euros in the third quarter, 3.05 billion euros in the fourth quarter. The quick growth in export indicates a rise in the competitiveness of Estonian companies as well as a growth in export demand within the European Union and elsewhere. The main export destinations included Sweden (15.6%), Finland (15.0%), Russia (11.0%) and Lithuania (8.0%). Exports to the European Union contributed 66% of total exports, a small drop from 2010 (69%). The Estonian processing industry exported an estimated 70% of its output. This result is partially due to low domestic demand, which still needs to recover. The biggest exporters were companies completely or partially owned by foreign entities.

Timber and wood products showed the greatest positive balance. As has become tradition, the balance of services was positive in 2011, with export amounting to 3.9 billion euros and import to 2.7 billion euros at current prices. Both of these indicators – export as well as import – are record-breaking. Export grew by 15% and import by 27%, compared to 2010. The positive balance of services covered the balance of trade deficit. For the third year in a row, the current account

The total value of the transactions amounted to 1.5 billion euros, exceeding last year’s level by onefourth. The average transaction value was 47,528 euros. Forty-eight per cent of all real estate transactions involved apartments. In comparison, a total of 62,800 transactions were concluded during the boom (in 2006), with the total value amounting to 4.8 billion euros (average value: 76,700 euros).

thus remains positive – 0.5 billion euros or 3.2% of the GDP in 2011. AVERAGE GROSS WAGES increased by 5.9% in 2011, amounting to 839 euros and exceeding the 2008 record by 14 euros. With consumer prices (CPI) rising by 5.0%, real wages showed modest growth (0.9%) for the first time after the crisis (a drop of 4.9% in 2009 and 1.9% in 2010). The highest salaries (according to fourth-quarter data) were in financial intermediation (1,369

The IMPORT OF GOODS amounted to 12.6 billion euros in 2011, exceeding the level for 2010 (9.25 billion euros) by 36%, and breaking the previous record (2007 – 11.44 billion euros) by 12%. The import indicators were quite balanced by quarters, significantly influenced by the export of goods: 2.96 billion euros in the first quarter, 3.30 billion euros in the second quarter, 3.20 billion euros in the third quarter and 3.17 billion euros in the fourth quarter. A majority of the goods – a total of 9.9 billion euros worth (i.e. 78.4% of the total import) – was imported from EU member states. The balance of trade showed a significant
