BOS poised to take second spot in fast moving goods

The potential take over target has refused to comment on the speculation. The transaction might strengthen the position of BOS in the south-eastern part of Poland, which up to now had no representation by the firm. This will also enable BOS to take over the second position in Poland in terms of FMCG sales. This will take the form of a merger, with the issue of BOS shares designated for the incorporated entity. The move would increase BOS' turnover to almost to zł.3 billion and allow it to service more than 30,000 stores nationwide. "The firm would find it worthy to establish links with a large retail network. A potential and very strong partner with this regard could be Lewiatan network, which groups stores of different size scattered all over Poland," said Andrzej Faliński, secretary of Polish Organization of Trade and Distribution (POHD).
