Lentex wants to go on a buying spree in 2004

The enterprise is now eyeing companies with which it has held cooperation talks in the past. "Lentex signed a letter of intent with Novita in December 2000, but no decisions were made at that point. I believe we should be interested in cooperation talks with this firm," said Jerzy Kusina, CFO of Lentex. The company is also looking at Gamrat's carpet divisions, but it would wait until the company is sold in order to conduct negotiations with the new owner. Lentex plans to take over sector competitors from Baltic states and from the south. "We have been conducting talks with [Hungarian] Graboplast for years. Our acquisition plans do not exclude foreign investments," explained Jerzy Kusina. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 10) M.M.
