Forte's investment plan begin to pay off

Turnover in euro jumped by 13%. "[The growth dynamics] will continue on an upward trend over the coming months," announced Forte's deputy president responsible for the company's finances, Andrzej Korzeb. The increased sales is a result of a number of new investments such as a recently launched production plant in Russia, a new production line in Furnel, and entry into new West European markets. However, as these investments are relatively new they still generate costs while the benefits are to be felt in the future. The net profit for Q2 is to be zl.2.3 million less than in Q2 2005, however, according to Andrzej Korzeb, for the year as a whole, profits are to be higher than those generated in 2005 when they amounted to zl.16.7 million.
