Metso Oyj - Tender offer

Metso to enter solid waste recycling equipment business through acquisition of Danish M&J Industries A/S

Metso Corporation's company release on October 2, 2009 at 12:30 p.m.

Metso and M&J Industries A/S, a company controlled by Dansk
Kapitalanlæg, have today signed a sale and purchase agreement
according to which Metso will acquire 100% of the shares in the
Danish company M&J Industries A/S. The value of the transaction is
about EUR 16 million and it is expected to be closed in the coming
weeks.

This acquisition strengthens Metso's position as a leading supplier
of recycling equipment and services and makes Metso a significant
player also in the solid-waste recycling equipment segment. M&J
Industries offers a broad range of mobile and stationary products for
solid-waste crushing and has a large installed base. Metso's global
sales and service network enables further growth of the acquired
waste recycling business outside Europe.

M&J Industries is located in Horsens, Denmark, and has approximately
100 employees. Its forecasted net sales in 2009 are approximately EUR
26 million."With the acquisition, we are taking an important step in
strengthening our capabilities to serve our traditional metal
recycling equipment customers who are expanding their scope to also
cover the recycling of other types of materials. An exciting new
customer segment is energy companies that use this kind of equipment
in the pre-combustion treatment of solid waste and biomass in their
power plants. We already supply the segment with our power generation
and automation products and services. Crushing technology has always
been one of Metso's core strengths, and this acquisition expands our
crushing capabilities to cover solid waste applications as well as
the current metal recycling and rock crushing applications," says
Christoffer Ribbing, President of Metso's Recycling business line.

Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for
mining, construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the
pulp and paper industries. We have about 28,000 employees in more
than 50 countries. www.metso.com
