PGF will pay zł.22 million for a 81.5% stake in the company, which operates approximately 100 pharmacies across the country and that last year boasted an income of around zł.100 million. (Parkiet, p. 4) ... Linde Gaz Polska, the leading player on the industrial gas market, will invest about zł.15 million in the building of its new headquarters and training and development center. The new investment will be situated in the Czyżyny Technological Park (part of a Special Economic Zone), near Kraków. (Parkiet, p. 7) ... Yantarenergo, the company which deals with production, transport and power distribution in the Russian oblast of Kaliningrad, has expressed its desire to integrate the region's energy system with that of this country. Joining the systems would give domestic energy producers the chance to sell power to Kaliningrad, as well as buy cheap power from Russia. (Parkiet, p. 4) D.W.
