OSM Łowicz to take over TSM as part of larger consolidation preparations

"Thanks to the transaction our output will grow by 25%, while specialization of production will allow cutting corners," said Jan Dąbrowski, president of OSM. According to the initial agreement, the Łowicz plant will focus on the production of milk, cream and cheese, while TSM on the production of cottage cheese and yogurts. The president of OSM added that further consolidation of the domestic market is inevitable and his company was planning to take an active part in this process. In 2005 the firm should process over 250 million liters of milk, and thus OSM should almost equal the sales figures posted by its two largest competitors. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
