"As part of its deliberations, the construction holding Geosan has long considered a strategic entry into the Slovak construction market while strengthening the holding's competence in the field of infrastructure construction. 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.
