Emax spurred on by actual and potential foreign contracts

Emax, an IT sector company, yesterday announced that it is expecting to sign several large contracts with foreign corporations soon. Winuel, an Emax subsidiary, last week sealed an agreement with Slovakian Stredoslovenska Energetika worth zł. 18.3 million, to implement a software solution to forecast and support the purchase of energy. The Emax group is counting on other deals on the Slovak market. "The energy sector there is currently developing. We want to play a crucial role in this process," announced company president Piotr Kardach. Emax is participating in tenders organized by the two remaining energy distributors, and hopes to strike a deal with the Slovak energy distributor SEPS. Emax is also planning to establish a market presence in the Baltic states. "We are carefully observing the legislative changes within the energy sector, and the liberalization of the industry. We will present our offers when the time is right," added Kardach. (Parkiet, p. 5) A.K.
