GPRD has hopes of landing zl.300 million road-building contract in Libya

Gdansk-based road builder Gdanskie Przedsiebiorstwo Robot Drogowych (GPRD) is hoping to land a lucrative contract for the construction of roads in Libya. If successful in securing the deal, the company could bring in as much as zl.300 million, equal to its present earnings in a year. A decision on awarding the contract is expected within a month. "We will hold talks with the Libyans in May or June. The contract would provide for the construction of roads for agricultural traffic near Tobruk and Kufra. We stand a chance of signing a contract for as much as we make in a year," said Waldemar Kozlowski, managing director of GPRD. He added that the contract for protecting the interests of the Polish party is ready. GPRD last year earned revenues of zl.300 million. It is the third Polish company to target Libya, after Dromex and Hydrobudowa Gdansk carried out construction work there in the 70s and 80s. (Puls Biznesu, p.4) J.K.
