The supervisory board of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa (JSW) appointed Adam Rozmus as deputy CEO for technical and operational matters on June 10. This marks his return to the company’s board after just a few weeks.
Rozmus initially joined the JSW board on March 14, 2024, in the same role. On February 27, 2026, the supervisory board announced qualification procedures for the 12th term of the board. On March 16, 2026, Rozmus submitted a statement that he would not seek re-election for the next term.
On May 14, 2026, the board appointed the new 12th-term team: Bogusław Oleksy as CEO, Tomasz Gawlik as deputy CEO for development, Jolanta Gruszka as deputy CEO for trade, and Artur Wojtkow as deputy CEO for labor and social policy. Just a day later, on May 15, the board launched a new qualification procedure for the vacant post of deputy CEO for technical and operational matters. Rozmus applied and was selected.
Rozmus’s background and expertise
Adam Rozmus holds a PhD in engineering and technical sciences and has authored or co-authored numerous publications on practical solutions in hard coal mining. He graduated from the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Faculty of Mining, with a specialization in Underground Construction.
He began his career at the Piast mine, working his way up from an underground trainee to head of the mining department. He later served as chief engineer at the Piast-Ziemowit mine’s Ziemowit unit and, from January 1, 2021, was director of the Mysłowice-Wesoła mine. For over a decade, he was an active mine rescuer, participating in rescue operations as both a team member and a director of rescue actions.
JSW’s financial performance and outlook
The JSW Group reported a net loss of PLN 615.9 million for the first quarter of 2026. Its EBITDA excluding one-off items was negative at PLN 192.4 million. Production volumes, however, increased: coal output reached over 3.2 million tonnes (up 13.1% year-on-year) and coke production nearly 0.8 million tonnes (up 7.1%). Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, coal production fell by 7.3% and coke by 11.3%.
On a positive note, the mining cash cost dropped by 8.9% to PLN 631 per tonne, and the conversion cost (CCC) fell by 28.5%. These cost improvements may help the company as it navigates challenging market conditions.
