Gdańsk based, Lotos annuls contract with Orlen Oil

Orlen Oil has only used 30% of its production capacity in Czechowice. According to Henryk Malesa, president of RC, similar installations belonging to GL are used to a smaller extent, and the decision was made for strategic reasons. According to Paweł Olechnowicz, GL president, the step was a logical move towards simplifying organizational structures in the group. "It can not be like this that the Płock-based concern has one foot in any part of our company," explained Olechnowicz. However, he did not exclude the possibility of co-operating with Orlen, after tidying the GL group. President Malesa is unaware what percentage of the oil installation his company would use, but this should be estimated within three months after returning the equipment to RC. (Parkiet, p. 5) M.M
