Polmos Lublin aims at becoming No.1 spirits producer

President of PL, Wiesław Skrobowski, refused to name the interested entity and went on to say that one of the potential partners, Central European Distribution Corporation, will place a bid on its own. Furthermore, "We do not exclude the possibility of cooperating with CA IB in other acquisitions," said Skrobowski. PL also intends to purchase shares in Koneser and Polmos companies from Szczecin, Bielsko-Biała and Józefów. The latter two companies jointly own the rights to the Żytnia vodka brand. The problem is that Polmos Józefów has already made a shortlist of potential investors, which does not include PL. "Polmos Bielsko-Biała owns 60% of the rights to the Żytnia vodka brand, while Józefów - 40%. We will anyway aim at purchasing the rights," said Wiesław Skrobowski. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 5) M.M.
