Mr. Reima Kerttula, President and CEO:                                          

”The signs of general economic recovery have improved a little. Tamfelt's       
results in Q3 of 2009 were slightly better than the quarter before. Our net     
sales were not as high as in Q2 of 2009 which was mainly due to lower demand.   

Our new strategy implementation continues and I trust that the strategy will    
improve Tamfelt's competitiveness and profitability. During this strategy period
we aim at increasing our results gradually to the level before the recession.   

Our aim is to utilize the most interesting growth opportunities and to          
strengthen our position as the technology leader in technical textiles. An      
essential part of our strategy is strong focus on improving our production      
efficiency. Developing new products, new market areas and customer relationships
continue to be key success factors in the challenging market environment.       

The on-going cost savings programs have had a positive effect on Q3 results.    
This is expected to continue during the rest of the year. In full these cost    
savings measures will materialize during next year. Special attention has been  
paid on cash flow, which we have managed to keep on good level due to the cost  
savings program and tight investment program. Also our equity to assets ratio   
has remained at very good level. In spite of the subtle signs of recovery, we   
expect the unstable market situation to continue through the last quarter of the
year.”

TAMFELT CORP., INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2009                            


BUSINESS FIELD OF THE GROUP                                                     

Tamfelt is one of the world's leading suppliers of technical textiles. The Group
develops, manufactures and sells technical textiles to the applications of paper
and pulp industries, mining and chemical industries, energy industry, waste     
water treatment, and commercial laundries. Tamfelt's biggest customer segment is
the paper and pulp industry.                                                    

GROUP NET SALES                                                                 

Tamfelt Group's net sales was 93.4 million euros (1-9/08: 127.2), it fell 26.6% 
from the same period last year. Operations outside Finland increased to 74.9% of
the Group's net sales (70.1).                                                   

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE                                                           

The Group's operating profit was 1.5 million euros, or 1.6% of net sales        
(1-9/08: 16.9 million and 13.3%, respectively). The profit for the period was   
0.0 million euros (1-9/08: 11.4). The reasons for the weaker result, compared to
the same period in 2008, were decreasing of the market with lower demand as a   
result of the economic recession, and clearly lower delivery volumes. The       
results were also impaired by the one-time cost booked as a result of lay-offs  
without work obligation, as determined in the joint consultations ended in      
January. The return on net assets was 1.7% (16.3) and return on equity -0.1%    
(13.9). Earnings per share were 0.00 euros. In January-September 2008, earnings 
per share were 0.38 euros.                                                      

CASH FLOW AND FINANCING                                                         

Tamfelt's cash flow from operations was 8.3 million euros (12.3). The net       
working capital was 41.5 million euros (43.3). Investments were 4.4 million     
euros (13.7). The Group's liquid assets at the end of the reporting period were 
14.9 million euros (11.6). The interest-bearing liabilities in the Group were   
39.6 million euros (39.0). The balance sheet and equity to assets ratio have    
remained steady.

Business environment and main events                                            

Tamfelt PMC's business is clothing for paper and board machines (forming and    
dryer fabrics, press felts and fabrics, and shoe press belts). Tamfelt PMC      
operates manufacturing units in Tampere and Juankoski, Finland, and in Tianjin, 
China.                                                                          

The demand for paper and board in January-September 2009 has stayed lower than  
the record level of 2008. The decreasing demand has led to capacity cuts and    
overall temporary shutdowns in the business. This is expected to reduce paper   
and board production in 2009 compared to the previous year. The Chinese economy 
has lately shown slight signs of recovery, and this is expected to reflect in   
the demand for Tamfelt products in the long run. In the report period, Tamfelt  
PMC's market shares remained steady.                                            

Investments in new manufacturing capacity in the paper and board industry       
decreased at the beginning of 2009. This, together with reduced inventories and 
low operating rates of the machines, affects directly the demand for paper      
machine clothing worldwide, which has during this year diminished globally. The 
decline has, however, evened out later in the year. Recently, there have been   
subtle signs of improving economy and slight increases in new investments and   
rebuilds, especially in China.                                                  

Tamfelt still has good opportunity to increase market position in Europe and    
North America, although paper production and clothing consumption in these areas
are expected to diminish in the long run. Tamfelt must also look for growth in  
new, developing markets and new product applications. In 2009, Tamfelt's        
organization has been reinforced in, for example, South America.                

The net sales fell clearly from the same period in 2008. Undergoing cost savings
programs as well as better utilization rate of resources have had a positive    
effect on Q3 profit that increased from the quarter before. The profit was,     
however, clearly lower than at the same time in 2008.                           

Orders received and order backlog                                               
The volume of orders received was approximately a quarter less than at the same 
time in 2008. Towards the end of the report period, however, the volume of order
inflow has grown a little, and it is expected to gradually reach the level of   
actual consumption.                                                             

The order inflow for press felts and dryer fabrics in the 3rd quarter has been  
good. In Europe, Tamfelt's position as the clothing supplier to the fastest     
paper machines has further improved. New orders for BlackBelt shoe press belt   
have been received from important new reference positions.                      

Investments                                                                     
No significant new investment decisions have been made.                         

TAMFELT FILTRATION: INDUSTRIAL FILTER FABRICS                                   

Summary of key figures of Filtration business area 1-9/2009                     

- Net sales were 30.1 million euros (1-9/08: 42.3)                              
- Operating profit was 1.4 million euros (1-9/08: 6.9)                          
- Assets were 37.6 million euros (9/08: 45.2)                                   
- Liabilities were 11.4 million euros (9/08: 8.5)                               
- Investments were 0.3 million euros (1-9/08: 2.2)                              
- Depreciation and impairment were 1.6 million euros (1-9/08: 1.7)              

Business environment and main events                                            

Tamfelt Filtration manufactures special products made of industrial textiles for
wet and dry filtration processes and laundry felts for large commercial         
laundries. The company enjoys a strong position in the global filter fabric     
market for paper and pulp industries, as well as in laundry felt market. In     
laundry felts, Tamfelt is the world market leader. Other important applications 
include desulphurization of coal power plants, iron pelletizing plants, waste   
water treatment plants, and dust removal of incineration plants. Tamfelt        
Filtration operates manufacturing plants in Tampere, Finland; Ovar, Portugal;   
Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Łódź, Poland, and in Shanghai, China.                   

In the report period, the demand for wet filtration products in all main market 
areas, except China, was lower than in the same period 2008. In late summer, the
demand has picked up a little and this continues in the fall and is expected to 
continue growing towards the end of the year.                                   

The demand for dry filtration media and laundry felts was also lower than in the
same period last year because of continued low operating rates and decreased    
inventories in the customer industries.  The demand for dry filtration media    
has, however, stabilized and the market is expected to turn into slight growth  
towards the end of the year. The delivery volumes of laundry felts have also    
steadied on the level of global demand.                                         

A significant part of Tamfelt's filter fabric business is environmental         
business. Also in this area, the economic recession has almost stopped the      
growth of this field.                                                           
The net sales of Tamfelt Filtration in the report period fell from the same     
period in 2008, due to the weak market situation. Operating profit was also     
lower than in 1-9/2008, but remained clearly positive.                          

Orders received and order backlog                                               
The volume of orders received was about a quarter less than at the same time in 
2008. The situation seems to have stabilized, and some improvement in order     
backlog is expected towards the end of the year.                                

Investments                                                                     
No significant new investment decisions have been made.                         

PERSONNEL                                                                       

At the end of September, Tamfelt Group employed 1,351 (1,518) people, which was 
184 less than at the end of 2008. The notice periods for the persons laid off   
after the joint consultations in Tampere and Juankoski plants have ended and    
this shows in reduced number of personnel. In January-September, the average    
employment at Tamfelt was 1,393 people. Tamfelt PMC employed 784 people, and    
Tamfelt Filtration 466 people. 68% of the personnel work in Finland and 32% in  
other countries.                                                                

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING 2009                                              

Tamfelt's extraordinary general meeting was held in Tampere on August 31, 2009. 
The meeting adopted the Board's proposal of combining the share classes         
(preferred and common shares) by changing the Articles of Association and       
accepted the involved directed free shares issue. The new Articles of           
Association were entered in the Trade Register on September 3, 2009.            

SHARES, SHARE CAPITAL, AND OPTIONS                                              

The combining of the share classes included a directed free shares issue to the 
owners of common shares. Deviating from the pre-emptive rights of the           
shareholders, the owners of common shares received free of charge one (1) share 
for each four (4) shares. The shares issued in this free shares issue numbered  
2,529,799. After the combination, each share holds one vote and equal           
shareholder rights.                                                             

As a result of the directed free shares issue and the combination of shares, the
total number of shares at Tamfelt Corp. is 30,093,763. Trading in the new and   
combined shares began on September 4, 2009 with new trading code TAF1V.         

The company does not hold its own shares. The Board of Directors has no current 
mandate to decide on the acquisition or conveyance of the company's own shares. 

The directed free shares issue does not have any influence on the company's     
share capital which at the end of September was 27,563,964.00 euros. The        
development of the share price has been presented in the tables attached to this
Interim Report.                                                                 

The company has one valid option scheme to the company's key personnel, Option  
Scheme 2005. During the report period, no subscriptions were made on the basis  
of this stock option scheme. In connection with the combination of the share    
classes, the Board of Directors decided to change the terms of the option scheme
so that the option holders have the right to subscribe to the class of shares   
that the company has after the combination. The subscription price, number of   
stock options, and the number of shares connected to the stock options do not   
change.                                                                   

CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP                                                            

In connection with the combination of the share classes and the free shares     
issue, the following changes in Tamfelt shares ownership were informed to the   
company:                                                                        

Mutual Pension Insurance Company Ilmarinen's ownership of Tamfelt Corp's votes  
exceeded 1/20 (5%). After the transaction, Mutual Pension Insurance Company     
Ilmarinen owned 2,153,560 shares, or 7.16% of Tamfelt's shares and votes.       

Mandatum Life Insurance Company's ownership of Tamfelt Corp's votes fell below  
1/20 (5%). After the transaction, Mandatum Life Insurance Company owned         
1,005,313 shares, or 3.34% of Tamfelt's shares and votes.                       

Waldemar von Frenckell Foundation's ownership of Tamfelt Corp's votes fell below
1/20 (5%). After the transaction, Waldemar von Frenckell Foundation owned       
876,825 shares, or 2.91% of Tamfelt's shares and votes.                         

The above changes became valid as the combined and new shares were entered in   
Trade Register on September 3, 2009.                                            

SHORT-TERM BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS                               

Tamfelt's main clientele is in the forest and mining industries. The cycle      
changes and development of these industries have direct effect on Tamfelt's     
order volumes and thus on the financial results. Capacity cuts, closing down of 
plants as well as temporary shutdowns in the forest industry have decreased     
Tamfelt's traditional customer base, posing a risk for the development of       
Tamfelt's sales. In the challenging market situation, Tamfelt customers'        
financing risks have increased.                                                 

The outlook for the companies in the mining industry has improved recently along
with the good price development of metals, and the uncertainty factors have     
eased a little.                                                                 

The customers make the clothing suppliers compete and concentrate their         
purchases to increasingly few suppliers. Long-term agreements are an important  
part of Tamfelt sales. To maintain competitiveness, Tamfelt develops its        
operations continually and improves its profitability and capital efficiency.   
Tamfelt actively develops new spearhead products and co-operates with leading   
paper and board machine manufacturers.                                          
The risks and uncertainty factors are described in more detail in connection    
with the Financial Statement Bulletin published on February 6, 2009. They are   
also listed in the Annual Report 2008.                                          

SHORT-TERM OUTLOOK                                                              

To improve cost structure and delivery reliability, Tamfelt operations will in  
the future increasingly focus outside of Finland. Various types of urgent       
deliveries have increased this year. The customer industries have decreased     
their inventories, and the demand is gradually recovering to the level of       
consumption, providing constant order inflow. In China, the economy already     
shows subtle signs of recovery, and this is expected to reflect in the demand   
for Tamfelt products.                                                           

The demand for Tamfelt products in the last quarter of 2009 is still expected to
remain lower than in 2008. The demand is low for the products of Tamfelt's      
largest customer group, the paper and pulp industry, which affects the operating
rates of the production machines and reflects in lower order backlog for        
Tamfelt. On the other hand, active sales and RTD have conquered new market areas
and gained increased deliveries to board machines, which is expected to         
compensate for the shortfall created by closing down of printing paper capacity.

Temporary shutdowns in the mining industry are fewer and the operating rates of 
the existing mines are expected to improve clearly this year and next year. This
is expected to reflect in more demand for filter fabrics towards the end of this
year.                                                                           

Tamfelt's net sales are expected to sustain the average level of 2009 during the
last quarter of the year. Thanks to the savings measures taken, we expect the   
operating profit to reach the same level in the 4th quarter than in the 3rd     
quarter now published. The results of 2009 will, however, fall behind those in  
2008. The economic situation is still unstable and price competition is         
extremely fierce. This will affect the results expectations of the whole        
business, including Tamfelt. There are subtle signs of recovery, however. The   
closing down of the competitors' capacity is expected to have a positive effect 
on Tamfelt's order backlog in the long run.                                     

The Group's all units and operations are taking savings measures in order to    
improve profitability. Special attention will be paid on cash flow, which has   
been kept on good level owing to cost savings program and tight investment      
program. The machinery in Tamfelt units is modern and there is no need for new  
significant investments. The solidity and liquidity of the company is expected  
to remain good.                                                                 


Helsinki, October 27, 2009                                                      

Tamfelt Corp.                                                                   
Board of Directors                                                              


- The Interim Report has been made according to the IFRS standards. Tamfelt     
Group has applied the following renewed standards since January 1, 2009: IAS 1. 

- The comparison figures for 2008 have been changed due to changes in the       
calculating principles. The booking method of non-hedging derivative instruments
referred to in the IFRS standard has been changed so that the profit or loss is 
booked in the income statement under the item which is the object of hedging.   
Exchange rate income and losses from operating activities are booked above the  
operating profit. Exchange rate income and losses from foreign currency         
denominated liabilities are booked in financing income and expenses. The change 
will improve the full-year profit of 2008 by 0.3 million euros. The effect of   
the change in the first three quarters of 2008 is 0.2 million euros.            

- The figures in the Interim Report are rounded and unaudited.
