CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 27 AUGUST 2015 AT NOON (EEST)

Cargotec's MacGregor responds to weak market demand and reduces workforce in
Uetersen, Germany

MacGregor, part of Cargotec, plans to reduce workforce in MacGregor Uetersen
site in Germany to restructure the operations to the weak market demand. The
market situation has deteriorated due to the low oil price and low number of new
merchant ship orders. Ensuring competitiveness in the long-term over the current
market cycle requires constant development of MacGregor's operations globally.

MacGregor is planning to start capacity adjustment measures which are estimated
to have an impact on approximately 100 employees at MacGregor Hatlapa GmbH & Co.
KG in Uetersen by the end of 2015. The target is to reach annual savings of EUR
7 million as of 2016.

MacGregor Hatlapa continues to deliver winches, steering gear and compressors
and serve its customers with the same commitment and customer focus as it has
been recognised for over the years.

The initiated measures are estimated to create restructuring costs of EUR 5
million in 2015.
