Zabrze Brewery employees seem set to follow Ozarów model

Zabrze Brewery (BZ), which has been officially bankrupt for the last four years but which continues to brew beer, has received permission from the court to stay in business until the end of September. Its general receiver, Zbigniew Suliga, lobbied for this as an opportunity appeared to sell the entire plant as a going concern. So far there had been nine tenders, but none of them were successful. Soon another one will be announced, and the main participant in this tender will be a company set up by employees, suppliers and clients of the brewery. "I am waiting for offers from po tential investors until the end of May, and the company would not be sold for less than zł. 15 million," said the receiver. All employees will take part in the venture and they applied for a bank loan, which will be gu aranteed by Zabrze's mayor. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
