In Brief: Denso Corp closure; Żabka Polska sale; Big Duda

The Denso Manufacturing Polska (DMP) factory will stop production in Poland in April 2005 after the owner of buildings rented by DMP decided against renewing the lease. Production will be transferred to San Salvo, in Italy. (Puls Biznesu p. 8) ... The management of Żabka Polska will probably decide whether or not the company will go public this week. Żabka, a network of 1,300 shops stocking everyday products, aims to gather zl.150 million in Q1 2005 for new outlets and shop equipment. (Parkiet p. 4) ... More than 150 thousand shares - accounting for 3.5% of Duda Meat Processing Company assets - were sold on Friday, most probably to a foreign investor. It was the biggest share volume traded on WSE since April 2003. (Parkiet p. 3) M.G.
