In Brief: Swidnik privatization; Cefarm put off; bathroom fixtures maker KFA

The Treasury Ministry has invited bids from selected companies from the aviation industry to buy a 36.7% stake of helicopter manufacturer WSK PZL Swidnik. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p.4)...It is unlikely that the Treasury Ministry will invite bids for stakes in Cefarm Warszawa and Centrala Farmaceutyczna Cefarm this year. Firms like Polska Grupa Farmaceutyczna (PGF), Prosper, Orfe, Farmacol and Comray are interested, since the two pharmaceutical wholesalers control over 13% of the Warsaw-area market. (Puls Biznesu, p.4)...Following its restructuring process, Krakow-based ceramic bathroom fixtures manufacturer Krakowska Fabryka Armatur (KFA) will be sold by PZU Zycie, which holds an 85.4% stake. Kielce-based Cersanit could be an ideal candidate to take over KFA since it is creating a holding of companies making bathroom fittings. (Puls Biznesu, p.7) A.Z.
