Ruukki to make panel delivery to new Cadbury-We...

Press release 26 August 2009

Ruukki is to deliver sandwich panels for a new Cadbury-Wedel
confectionery factory building in Skarbimierz, southern Poland.
Ruukki's project includes project management, delivery, and
installation. This project is an example of Ruukki's strategic
progress toward more and more project-oriented business and system
deliveries.


For the customer, Bovis Land Lease, project-based delivery means less
subcontractor work at the constructions site and, at the same time,
fewer risks. Also, construction time is shortened remarkably with the
use of sandwich panels in walls and ceiling structures. The sandwich
panels, 40,000 square metres in total, will be made at Ruukki's plant
in Poland, Oborniki. Ruukki will deliver the necessary fastening and
seal systems also. Similar solutions from Ruukki have been
successfully employed in several comparable construction projects.

"This contract shows that devoting ourselves to construction system
development brings benefits for our customers. We are constantly
developing our project operations to be able to serve customers
locally but with global know-how," says Jouni Metsämäki, SVP, Eastern
Europe and CEE, Ruukki Construction.

Sandwich panels are prefabricated elements with two steel sheet
layers bonded to an inner insulation core between them.
Ready-to-install panels are especially used for industrial and
commercial building construction.

The process and warehouse building will have around 45,000 square
metres of floor area. Cadbury-Wedel will commission the plant in
2010.
