- We are happy with the result of Trakcja Polska shareholders voting. This is a crucial step towards successful completion of the transaction. I stay optimistic in terms of remaining approvals and hope, that still in this quarter we will be able to confirm that "Trakcja Tiltra", a new important player in the transport infrastructure segment has been created - said Romas Matiukas, the Development Director of Tiltra Group.
- Thanks to the shareholders' approval regarding the merger of activities of both companies we are closer to create one of the leading players in roads and railway segment in Poland. Thanks to the transaction we will be able to use more effectively the technical and commercial support of Comsa Emte as well as its support in the business development and expansion to new CEE markets.
