Computer firm Optimus to unveil future growth strategy

Within three months, Optimus is to present a new business strategy for the coming two to three years. "Optimus will either be a producer and distributor of computer equipment or will become an integrator," announced Andrzej Widerszpil, who replaced Jacek Krawczyk as president of the company. After buying 5% of shares in the company, Widerszpil intends to acquire more and eventually control 10% of the company's capital. In his opinion, the market undervalues the company. "I think in a year the company will trade at a minimum of zl. 12 per share," he said. The choice of strategy depends on the results of a cost analysis, the president explained, adding that Optimus might sell some those companies within the group unsuited to its future strategy. He also pledged active participation in the consolidation of the market and did not rule out the possibility of continuing merger negotiations with JTT Computer. (Puls Biznesu, p. 3) K.S.
