    "In 19 years of activity ATM Grupa had achieved a strong and stable position in the market of independent television and film producers in Poland. Currently ATM Grupa is a young and active team of managers that should be given a chance to spread their wings. That is why I am giving over the helm of the company, but I will still be participating in the development of ATM Grupa as a supervisor. I am sure that the new board, headed by a new president, will contribute to further successes of the company," Kurzewski said.

    Film and television producer, ATM Grupa is currently one of the most successful and fast developing companies on the Polish market.
