Distilleries spawn yeast plants to improve privatization

Three Polmos distilleries have spun off their corresponding yeast plants. The decision taken by Treasury Minister Emil Wasacz was meant to facilitate privatization. The yeast plants are more attractive to investors when sold separately from distilleries and each yeast plant needs about zl. 10 million to zl. 16 million for development and modernization to maintain its market. The manager of Polmos Lublin Krzysztof Wroblewski says he has already found a possible investor, but he did not disclose the name of the company. (Puls Biznesu, page 5) E.B.
