Company Information

Graz, December 2, 2015. International technology Group ANDRITZ has
received an order from SCA to supply production technologies and
equipment for the extension of SCA's Östrand pulp mill in Timrå,
Sweden. Start-up is scheduled for the second quarter of 2018. The
order is expected to enter into force in the next few weeks.

The scope of supply, with a high manufacturing portion in Sweden,
includes wood yard equipment, a pulp dryer with innovative,
energy-saving technologies that substantially reduce the mill's
operating costs, a major upgrade of the white liquor plant, and
extension of the recovery boiler, which was supplied by ANDRITZ in
2006.

The mill expansion is one of the largest industrial investments in
Sweden and the largest ever in northern Sweden. SCA Östrand will
double its annual production capacity from 430,000 to 900,000 tons
and become the largest mill in the world for softwood kraft pulp.
