Ster-Projekt in negotiations with potential new investors

Stock-listed computer integrator Ster-Projekt has the opportunity of acquiring a financial investor, which may be one of the investment funds present on the market, according to Puls Biznesu. The move would be achieved through a new share issue for the investor. President Piotr Smolski would not shed any light on the reports saying only, "We are conducting talks with interested parties so I cannot reveal any details." The money would be spent on investments and the company is interested in taking over other IT companies - from the energy sector among others. "We are negotiating with a number of companies, but they have huge financial expectations," said Smolski. The company plans to earn zl. 400 million in revenues in 2003 depending on their takeover of competitors. "We aim at becoming the country's third biggest computer integrator," Smolski said.
