Pöyry awarded EUR 8.4 million pulp mill engineering contract in Brazil

PÖYRY PLC          Company Announcement 13 January 2011 at 10.15 a.m.

Pöyry's Industry Business Group has been awarded a basic and detailed
engineering contract by Eldorado Celulose e Papel Ltda for the Balance of
Plant(BOP) of the 1.5 million t/a bleached eucalyptus market pulp mill to be
built in Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. The assignment also includes the
suppliers' document management. The value of Pöyry's contract is about 8.4
million EUR. The duration of Pöyry's engineering services is about 14 months.

The contract is a continuation of the pre-engineering and preparatory work for
the mill infrastructure that Pöyry was awarded in early 2010 (see stock exchange
release of 31 March, 2010).

The concept of the mill is based on the use of the best available technologies
and the best environmental practices, which constitute the state-of-the-art
level. The technical-environmental criteria established for this project are
based on international norms and standards and, mainly, on the Brazilian
experience, which will make it possible for the mill to produce more with less
use of natural resources, low production costs, progressive environmental impact
reduction and minimum work accident risks.

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