Bumar prepares new strategy and looks to civilian market

Edward Nowak who recently became the CEO of arms group Bumar is planning to change the  direction of the holding. "I appointed working groups and advisors who will draft a new strategy for the company by the end of June. We intend to come up with a new organizational structure by May 27," said Edward Nowak.

He plans to capitalize on Euro2008 and a special team of experts will help the company draft plans for this project as well. "We already have several concepts. We have to analyze how to implement them and what costs and profits can be result from these plans," said the CEO.

He went on to say that military technology could be used for monitoring and managing traffic during (but not only) the event, as well as monitoring public buildings, pipelines and fuel depots.

He plans launching an R&D center for the army, which could come up with technologies applicable for civil purposes. The firm will restructure and consolidate military plants, but it also plans to establish closer links with the army, police and border guard. (Puls Biznesu, p. 14) M.M.
