Rautaruukki - Company Announcement

Over EUR 8 million steel structure contract for Rautaruukki for Stora Enso's mill in Poland

Rautaruukki Corporation Stock exchange release 23 September 2011 at 9.30 EEST

Rautaruukki is to deliver the steel structures for a paper mill to be built by
Stora Enso in Ostroleka, Poland. The project includes the manufacture and
installation of the steel frame for the paper mill and warehouse. The contract
is worth over EUR 8 million.

The contract now agreed is a continuation of earlier cooperation between the two
companies. In 2009-2010, Ruukki provided the steel frame for the power plant
delivered by Metso to Stora Enso's Ostroleka Mill.

Ruukki's double-grade high-strength steel will be used for the steel structures.
This grade is ideal for the large truss structures in the building. For the
customer, Ruukki's high-strength steel enables structures that are up to 20 per
cent lighter in weight."This is a very important contract for Ruukki and an opening to the markets in
Central Eastern Europe. This is the first time high-strength steel will be used
in a large building project in this market area. High-strength steel enables
Ruukki to stand out from the other actors in the field," says Jorma Korhonen,
Business Director, CEE & Baltics at Ruukki.

The steel structures will be manufactured at Ruukki's steel structure plants at
Oborniki in Poland and Bolintin Deal in Romania between October 2011 and
February 2012. Installation work will begin in November 2011 and the mill is
scheduled for completion during the first quarter of 2013.
