Drug-maker Jelfa suggests search for sector investor may lead overseas
According to unofficial reports, the Treasury has received a number of
offers for its 30% stake in pharmaceuticals company Jelfa. Speaking at a
stock market forum yesterday, Jelfa president Slawomir Kryszkowski said he
hoped a sector investor would acquire the 30% stake next year. He insisted
that Jelfa is seeking an investor that would both respect and continue the
company's strategy. "We want a stable and reasonable partner who will not
reduce Jelfa's role to a warehouse," Kryszkowski said. He went on to explain
that since it is extremely difficult to find a Polish partner who can meet
these requirements, Jelfa expects the investor to be a foreign concern.
