Comarch to continue growing through cross-border trade

Krakow-based systems integrator Comarch says that after a good 2002, the company expected even better results in 2003. "Certainly, we will produce positive results and should also boost our sales by 20%," forecast Comarch president Janusz Filipiak. Analysts put last year's better-than-expected results down to product specialization and concentration on the medium-value contract segment. Filipiak pointed out that the company would not participate in huge public tenders in the coming year, but would further develop its foreign sales. "We believe that 2003 might be a breakthrough year. Our operations in many foreign countries are not yet substantial, but our products are finally being recognized," he added. The main objectives of Comarch in 2003 are investments in organic growth supported by aggressive marketing. "There is no sense in spending money on acquisitions without any clear benefits," stated Filipiak. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 5) M.M.
