We have every reason to be proud of the story of our company and its brand. Our company name “AK12” has a special history. More than half a century ago, as far back as 1945, the Valmiera convoy was established, which was engaged not only in the transport of goods and passengers in the vicinity of Valmiera, but also transported cargo to near and far USSR cities. During the Soviet times, the Valmiera auto company had more than 800 employees. After a while it was renamed as Valmiera Transport Company No. 12, later named simply “AK12”. Gradually the fleet grew to have as many as 400 units. In the beginning of the 1990s the company was divided into two parts - one focused on passenger transportation and continues to operate successfully as “VTU Valmiera Ltd.”- a municipal company. The other company focused on international and local freight transportation and auto servicing by establishing “AUTTRA Ltd.”. In 2007, the auto repair service, spare parts and tire sales branch was separated from “AUTTRA Ltd.” establishing “AK12” – the letters that were chosen for the brand fifty years ago. In 2011, September 16, “AK12 Ltd.” opened extensive and modern passenger and truck service centers in Valmiera region - just one kilometer from the border of Valmiera on the Riga-Valmiera highway, in Koceni municipality "Kalnmeijas" (shop and car service center) and "Jaunmeijas" (truck and industrial machinery service center). In 2018, “AK12 Ltd.” opened a metalworking and mechanical engineering workshop in Cesis, adding industrial production capacity to its services and providing more jobs in the region. In April 2019, as a result of the ongoing expansion, a truck and industrial machinery service was opened next to the metalworking plant, occupying nearly 1,000 square meters of well-equipped premises.

In the autumn of 2020, “AK12” created the brand POWERLYNX – for the company's self-developed and manufactured logging and other industrial machinery and components thereof.
