Reliability and fast delivery - Ruukki's benefi...

Press release 27 August 2009

Cargotec's new production facilities in Poland will utilise Ruukki's
steel structures. The delivery includes production and installation
of steel frames for three separate buildings. The co-operation
between Cargotec and Ruukki goes back many years. Ruukki has
delivered many components and systems for material handling equipment
for Cargotec.


The new production site, to be built in north-west Poland's Stargard
Szczecinski, will serve Cargotec's customers in the cargo handling
industry. Ruukki is to provide the steel frame for three buildings,
two of which will house production facilities while the other is to
serve as an office building.

Cargotec became convinced of Ruukki's quality and production capacity
after visiting the Oborniki factory in Poland, where the steal frames
are to be produced. "Our experiences of Ruukki's quality products and
services, as well as the price-quality ratio, formed a key factor in
our choice of Ruukki. Naturally, a production capacity ensuring
ability to meet the timetable requirements of this project was
important to us as well," states Cargotec Vice President Harri Ojala.

"Ruukki is devoted to serving international customers throughout
Europe. As in this case, our strength lies in combining effective
local production in Poland and customer service close to the user in
Finland," says SVP Jouni Metsämäki, Ruukki Construction.

Ruukki's deliveries will start in late August, with the last ones
scheduled for November 2009.
