PRESS RELEASE 26.9.2007

Lemcon Ltd, a member of Lemminkäinen Group, has signed an agreement with UPM    
Raflatac concerning the construction of a labelstock factory in Poland. The     
factory will be located in Kobierzyce near Wrocław in south-western Poland.     
Lemcon's contract includes construction works for a production building         
comprising of production, warehousing and office facilities as well as complete 
site infrastructure. The value of UPM Raflatac‘s total investment is 90 million 
Euros.                                                                          

Construction works, which are being carried out as a project management         
contract, are already underway and will be completed in December 2008.          

Lemcon has been operating in Poland continuously since 1996, focusing on the    
construction of industrial facilities and logistics centres for international   
investors.                                                                      

”The contract is a natural progression from a similar plant that we built for   
UPM Raflatac in China. It fits in well with the company's strategy of managing  
the industrial investment projects of internationalising Finnish companies,”    
says Lemcon Ltd's Vice President Klaus Tervilä.
