PÖYRY PLC          Company Announcement 31 March 2010 at 3.45 p.m.

Eldorado Celulose e Papel Ltda, Brazil, has awarded Pöyry a contract for
pre-engineering and preparatory work for mill infrastructure for a 1.5 million
t/a bleached eucalyptus market pulp mill to be built in the state of Mato Grosso
do Sul, Brazil. The value of Pöyry's assignment is about EUR 7.5 million. The
final investment decision is expected later this year.

The concept of the mill is based on the use of the best available technologies
and the best environmental practices, which constitute a state-of-the-art level
pulp mill. Using existing eucalyptus plantations as raw material, the mill is to
produce more with less use of natural resources, at low production costs,
progressive environmental impact reduction and minimum risk of accidents at
work.

The assignment now received strengthens Pöyry's position as the leading
engineering solutions provider for the pulp and paper sector in the world.
