Dutch Unicom Bols makes plans to takeover three Polmos distillery plants

The Dutch alcohol concern Royal Bols Destilere, a Unicom Bols Group (UBG) shareholder, is one of the potential investors in Polmos Poznan. If it doesn't manage to take over the Poznan-based plant, it will try to acquire Polmos Lublin and Zyrardow, says Stefan Laux, the president of UBG. He did not reveal how much money he is willing to invest or if he is ready to pay Agros for the rights to export Wyborowa vodka. In 1999 Bols sold more than 50 million bottles worth about zl1 billion.(Puls Biznesu, page 4) P.J.
