Company Information

Graz (euro adhoc) - Graz, March 12, 2013. International technology
Group ANDRITZ has received orders to supply a high-energy recovery
boiler and further environmental technologies for Mondi pulp and
paper mills in Slovakia, Sweden, and the Czech Republic. The orders
are part of Mondi's program to increase energy efficiency and
environmental protection.

For Mondi SCP, Ružomberok, Slovakia, ANDRITZ PULP & PAPER will
deliver a high-energy recovery boiler. For the generation of green
energy, an energy-rich biomass by-product of pulp production is burnt
in the recovery boiler. The new ANDRITZ boiler, which will be one of
the most efficient recovery boilers in the world in terms of its
power-to-heat ratio, will increase the mill's electricity production
significantly and provide conditions for operation with a minimized
amount of fossil fuels. Mondi's investment is part of an energy
efficiency and environmental protection program to make the mill
energy self-sufficient and will enable an increase of pulp
production. Start-up is scheduled for the end of 2014.

For Mondi Dynäs, Sweden, ANDRITZ is to supply a lime kiln and for
Mondi Štetí, Czech Republic, key components for PM5 and PM7.
