Lafarge prepares to invest EUR 350m in cement production

"We are analyzing the investment bearing in mind the expected growth on the Polish market. However, at present no final decision has been made. It will be influenced by two factors: firstly a decision about establishing a special economic zone, and secondly the anticipated explanation of the EU concerning carbon dioxide emissions after 2012," said Luc Callebat, president of Lafarge Cement. PSEZ will be expanded not only to accommodate Lafarge, but also other construction companies. "We want small and medium sized Polish enterprises to be located next to large companies. [...] An investor would also benefit from this as it will not have to import materials from other countries," said PSEZ president Teresa Kamińska. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 11) M.M.
