Komputronik looks to bourse to finance rapid expansion

"We want to enter the Warsaw bourse," said the company's president, Wojciech Buczkowski. "We are planning the public offer for middle of the year." Warsaw Stock Exchange investors will be offered a stake of between 30-40% of the company's capital, which will constitute around zl.40 million. The proceeds will be earmarked for two purposes. The first is an increase of its network of outlets from 52 to 150 by the end of 2008, while the second target is the acquisition of smaller competitors - those which own sales points as well as those which supplement Komputronik's current software development offer. Komputronik recorded sales of zl.231 million in 2005 and zl.338 million in 2006. The estimated net profit for last year exceeded zl.8 million. (Puls Biznesu, p. 9) A.K.
