In recent years, he has already been responsible for the Group’s overall operations and has played a significant role in shaping its development strategy.
– I would like to thank you for your trust and emphasize that nothing changes in the AB Group’s strategy, development directions, or even day-to-day operations.

A healthy balance sheet structure, strong operating cash flows, and very low interest-bearing debt mean that we are well prepared for further organic growth, as well as potential acquisitions. At the same time, we are able to balance business expansion and increased working capital needs with dividend payments, in line with the dividend policy adopted by the Management Board – said Grzegorz Ochędzan, Vice President of the Management Board for Finance at AB S.A.
