Graz, July 31, 2015. International technology Group ANDRITZ and
Fibria, the world's leading eucalyptus pulp producer, signed a letter
of intent for supply of all production technologies and equipment for
Fibria's Horizonte 2 pulp mill at its Três Lagoas unit in the state
of Mato Grosso do Sul. The new production line will have an annual
pulp production capacity of 1.75 million tons. Combined with its
existing capacity, already in operation, the Três Lagoas unit will
reach a total annual production capacity of 3 million tons, making it
one of the world's largest eucalyptus pulp production sites. It was
agreed not to disclose the order value; however typical order values
of comparable reference projects are in the magnitude of
approximately 600 million Euros. The contract is expected to be put
into force during the third quarter of 2015.

The scope of supply of the ANDRITZ PULP & PAPER business area covers
the EPC delivery of the complete fiberline as well as the recovery
island, including all relevant process steps. Start-up of production
is scheduled for fourth quarter of 2017.

The Horizonte 2 project is one of the largest private investments in
Brazil and will create 40,000 direct and indirect jobs over the two
years of construction. During the peak of construction, the site will
have around 10,000 workers. Once commissioned, Fibria's new pulp line
will have 3,000 direct and indirect jobs.
