CO-OPERATIVE NEGOTIATIONS IN INCAP'S HELSINKI FACTORY CONCLUDED - THE FACTORY
WILL BE CLOSED DOWN

The negotiations concerning the entire personnel of the Helsinki factory have
concluded today. After evaluation of different alternatives for adjustment of
operations and improvement of profitability Incap has decided to close down the
Helsinki factory and will transfer the production to the company's other
factories. The decision means that the employment contracts of 8 white-collars
and 48 blue-collars will be terminated gradually during winter and spring. The
close-down of the factory and the production transfer will have no effect on
customer relationships or deliveries.

According to preliminary estimates the main part of the factory's production
will end by autumn 2012. The sheet-metal manufacturing will be transferred
partly to Incap's factory in Vaasa and partly to subcontractors. The final
assembly will be transferred to Kuressaare factory. More exact schedule of the
product transfers will be available during the next few weeks.

Incap estimates that the close-down of the factory will bring annual savings of
about EUR 1.6 million in fixed costs. The Helsinki factory is operating in
leased premises.

Says Mr Sami Mykkänen, President and CEO of Incap Group: "We have already for a
longer time searched for a solution to improve the profitability of the Helsinki
factory. Negotiations on the sale of the sheet-metal manufacturing business were
continued until the end of last year but they did not lead to any satisfying
result. Keeping up the competitive edge in sheet-metal manufacturing in Helsinki
would have meant remarkable investments in machinery during the next few years,
and these were considered to be inappropriate in the present market situation.""Close-down of the factory is a heavy measure for the personnel but it is
necessary for the company's future. Centralisation of the manufacturing
operations in Kuressaare and Vaasa plants increases the capacity utilisation
rate and lowers the fixed costs. Decrease in production costs enhances also our
customers' competitive edge. In addition, the centralisation gives us better
means for developing the company's operations further."
