Polskie Młyny faces the grind of fierce competition

"We are going to complete the construction of a mill in Grodzisk Wielkopolski in October, another one will be completed in November in Kutno, while in January 2006 a third mill and a garner in Stradunia will be added," revealed Rafał Salomon, deputy president of VK Műhlen Polska. Each mill will be able to process 400 tons of corn a day. The joint value of these investments will be over zł.100 million. According to Salomon, after the completion of the investments, the company should become the second largest flour producer after Polskie Młyny. He projects that the firm's annual sales revenues will amount to zł.250 million. At the moment they do not exceed the level of zł.100 million. VK Műhlen is going to supply traditional bakeries as well as large networks. (Puls Biznesu, p. 5) A.F.
