DEC remains firmly on the rails and heads into the Balkans

"Until a new person is found the company will be run by Johannes Mansbart who up to now was the chairman of the supervisory board," said Piotr Halupczok, deputy president of DEC. However, the firm is not planning to change its strategy related to entering foreign markets. DEC has a good standing in Romania. "Romania already uses over 1,000 carriages. Good economic situation and prospective EU entrance make us look at that market with much hope," said Halupczok. In 2006 the company will also probe further into the Balkans, and Bulgaria in particular. "The company increased its share in foreign markets. It modernized much of its rolling stock by adopting them to transportation of new products," said Halupczok. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) M.M.
