Lotos Kolej heads abroad

Lotos Kolej, a subsidiary of the state-controlled Grupa Lotos oil refiner is considering expansion to Germany and planning to enhance cooperation with cargo operators from the East, the firm's CEO Henryk Gaca said in the interview in Puls Biznesu daily. "We do not exclude expanding transit to the German market and we are going to strengthen cooperation with operators from the East," Gaca said. As for now, Lotos Kolej transports stop at the border, where the carriage is handed over to a German operator. If Lotos Kolej succeeds, it may become an alternative offer to services provided by PKP Cargo, Michał Beim from Sobieski Institute pointed out.
