Skanska Property Romania’s manager to also coordinate the group’s operations in Hungary

Marcin Lapinski, the Polish manager of Skanska Property Romania, will also coordinate the group’s operations in Hungary, starting January 1, 2016, when he will become Managing Director of Skanska Property Romania and Hungary. Romanian Aurelia Luca will be the new Country Director for Skanska Property Romania, and Zoltán Linczmayer will hold the similar position in Hungary. With these moves, Skanska aims to consolidate its operation in the region and to increase its business in the two markets. “This is a very important step to bring Romania and Hungary closer and will create a solid platform for synergies between the two countries and for know-how exchanges between the two sides. Both markets face challenges, but have a huge growth potential and show strong signs of recovery after the crisis,” said Marcin Lapinski, the new Managing Director of Skanska Property Romania and Hungary.
