Leading dried fruit wholesaler develops an appetite for acquisition and health foods

"Bakal kept its promise for 2005 and posted a zł.1 million profit on sales just below zł.50 million," said Dariusz Mazur, president and the main shareholder in Atlanta. This means that in practice there are no obstacles for this company to be acquired by the Gdańsk-based entity and the transaction should be carried out by June. "As soon as we conclude the takeover of Bakal, we will look for another acquisition, and we are already in negotiations with one entity," said Mazur. The company is in talks with a medium-sized producer of health foods. "We want sales of the group to exceed zł.300 million in 2008," explained the president. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 11) M.M.
