Latvian company MyCabin solving the European housing deficit by starting to export to Germany
MyCabin komanda
Latvian company MyCabin specialising in manufacturing high-quality prefabricated Scandinavian style houses is continuing its rapid growth by starting exports to one of the biggest and most promising housing markets in Europe: Germany. Founded in 2020, MyCabin is currently operating factories in Jelgava (Latvia) and Chicago (United States) to efficiently deliver prefab houses to the European and North American markets. The company offers modern, fully equipped houses distinguished by their sustainability, design and efficiency, ready for immediate installation on the customer’s plot. According Ģirts Draugs, founder of the company, expanding into Germany is a strategic move: “There is a shortage of around 600 000 to 800 000 homes in Germany. Demand is huge, but traditional construction is often too expensive and time-consuming. We offer an alternative that is quick to implement, of high quality and adapted to the needs of today’s homeowners.”
