The whole acquisition process will be complete following an agreement between the respective authorities of the Slovak Antimonopoly Office and Czech Office for the Protection of Competition.

The acquisition of Váhostav is a logical outcome of our long-term efforts for further development of the group, strengthening its position on the Czechoslovak construction market,” explained Luděk Kostka, as quoted by the TASR newswire, the sole shareholder and member of the Board of Directors of Geosan Investiční, the controlling entity of the Geosan Group.
