Optimus to pull out of computer assemble business to concentrate on sales

The firm's strategy for 2006-2008 envisages concentrating on selling electronic equipment. Details of the new strategy will be presented on Monday. The company hopes the changes will soon have an effect in the form of considerably better financial results. Withdrawing from the assembling activity will entail staff reductions, but the company's spokesman, Piotr Lewandowski, did not want to reveal how many people will lose their job. "By transferring our assembling activity to other companies, Optimus will become more similar to the largest players in the computer market," explained Piotr Lewandowski. After the first nine months of 2005 Optimus' revenues amounted to zl.128 million, and their net loss was over zl.2.8 million. (Parkiet, Jan. 14-15, p. 3) A.F.
