The steel structure segment contributed PLN 60.5 million (a 135% increase), while in the industrial construction segment, revenues amounted to PLN 25 million, which is more than a 10-fold increase y/y. In addition, in 2017, the value of exports increased by 30%.

“The most profitable branch of our operations are currently docking solutions. Their growth should remain dynamic, in connection with the growth on logistics market and the development of e-commerce in Poland. We also focus on strengthening the PROMStahl brand on the international docking solutions market”- comments President Szczeblewski.

The most important events of the past year included the September finalization of the sale of an unprofitable factory in Sępólno Krajeńskie. The transaction amounted to almost PLN 16 million.
