Prez of board of Budimex: expansion outside Poland key to growth
Artur Popko, CEO of Budimex, stated that Poland’s infrastructure construction sector will meet its key demands within a decade. To maintain revenue growth, the company must expand internationally. While road construction benefits from the Road Fund, rail projects lack adequate financing.
The sector is increasingly automated, but housing construction lags in technological innovation. A skills gap in nuclear energy investments also weakens Poland’s global competitiveness. Despite a challenging 2024, Budimex achieved 8% operating profitability and PLN 18 billion in contracts, including international projects.
Public procurement is recovering, with PLN 23 billion in tenders announced in late 2024. Budimex advocates long-term financing for railway projects and stresses the need for a stable investment pipeline to sustain industry growth.
