  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc.
  The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
Graz, 15 September 2004. International technology group Andritz can
announce the receipt of a major order in its largest Business Area,
Pulp and Paper:
Andritz was selected by CMPC Celulosa S.A., a subsidiary of Empresas
CMPC S.A., Chile, to supply a complete fiberline, recovery boiler,
and white liquor production plant for the new Santa Fe Line 2 Pulp
Project in Chile.  Total value of the order approaches 400 million US
dollars.
Andritz will deliver the complete line - from the digester to
finished bales of market pulp as well as major chemical recovery
systems.  When completed in 2006, the line will produce 780,000 t/a
of Bleached Eucalyptus market pulp (BEK).
The Santa Fe mill, located near Nacimiento (500 km south of
Santiago), currently has one fiberline that produces 370,000 t/a of
BEK.  Line 2 will have a capacity over twice Line 1, boosting the
mill's total market pulp output to over 1.1 million tonnes per year.
"Andritz has won this order against strong international
competition," says Wolfgang Leitner, President and CEO of Andritz AG,
"The receipt of this important reference order is due to our leading
technology as well as the successful integration of our complementary
acquisitions, which make Andritz a full-line supplier of complete
pulp production systems."
