The construction phase of Metsa Tissue–s three-year Polish investment programme
has taken a major step forward with work initiated this week on the converting
and warehousing hall of the company–s Krapkowice mill site. The paper machine
has been under construction since June.

The programme, announced in April this year, includes a sizeable increase in
paper making and converting capacity as well as brand new rental converting and
warehousing buildings at the company–s Krapkowice mill. The investment is
designed to further improve delivery service, flexibility and overall supply
reliability.

Preparations have proceeded smoothly and on schedule. –The project for the
converting and warehousing building will be carried out in partnership with the
Goodman integrated global property group, specialists in developing and
managing industrial properties such as warehouses,– says Juhana Kalpio, SVP
Supply Chain.The building project will also involve a number of local and
regional companies, thereby benefiting the local community.

–It is rewarding to have proceeded from the drawing board to the construction
phase and to see the very first elements of the buildings going up,– says
Mariusz Jedrzejewski, VP Regional Operations. –Already at this stage I would
like to thank both the authorities and other companies involved for being very
supportive and cooperative during the process,– Jedrzejewski adds.
