The personal change resulting from my resignation from the previous position has gone very smoothly. Artur Popko knows the company very well, he has knowledge, competences and experience built over the years of work in the industry and at Budimex. We have been cooperating directly with each other for at least 11 years.

Our priority will remain safety, taking care of the welfare of employees and local communities in which we operate,” says Artur Popko, the new President of the Management Board of Budimex.
