The EBITDA of the Group amounted to PLN 82 million in 2014, i.e. almost 15 per cent more than in 2013.

A.'s management board.

“Apart from being ready for further acquisitions, we are continuously extending the scope of our activities, inter alia by developing the services of railway transportation,” explains Piotr Pawłowski.
