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.
