Over time, Roman Karkosik invested a considerable amount of money in various enterprises. However, recent fluctuations in the stock market significantly reduced the value of his shares in companies like Boryszew (a chemical producer) and Skotan (a biological fuel manufacturer).
Currently, the billionaire Roman Karkosik is interested in the company Stocznia Gdanska, a subsidiary of the renowned shipyard Stocznia Gdynia. Initially, it remained unknown how the billionaire would participate in the fate of the organization - personally or through his company, Alchemia, which is under his management. However, Roman preempted events and began negotiations independently.
The temporary president of Stocznia Gdanska announced that Roman Karkosik could become a significant investor in the organization, alongside major companies like Energa and ARP. However, the opinion of the European Commission on this matter and the considerations of the Polish government, which would prefer a representative from the shipbuilding industry to be the next investor in Stocznia Gdanska, remained undisclosed for some time.
