Graz, March 6, 2014.  International technology Group ANDRITZ has received an
order from Klabin, the largest integrated pulp and paper company in Brazil, to
supply major production equipment for Klabin's new pulp mill in Ortigueira,
Paraná, Brazil. Start-up is scheduled for the first quarter of 2016. Comparably
structured orders typically represent a value approaching 300 million euros
booked by the supplier.

The scope of supply of the ANDRITZ PULP & PAPER business area covers the

liquor plant. The pulp mill will have an annual production capacity of 1.5
