TietoEnator provides Manufacturing Execution System to Abitibi-Consolidated Snowflake

TietoEnator Corporation Press Release 2 May 2007 at 3.00 pm EET

TietoEnator has delivered a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) at
Abitibi-Consolidated's newsprint mill in Snowflake, Arizona. The mill
supplies newspaper publishers in the Western United States with 100%
recycled paper.

The project brings the Snowflake operation under the same common MES
system as Abitibi-Consolidated operations at Alabama River Newsprint
in Perdue Hill, AL; Augusta Newsprint in Augusta, GA; Beaupré in
Beaupré, QC; Fort William in Thunder Bay, ON; Grand Falls in Grand
Falls-Windsor, NF; Kénogami in Jonquiere, QC; and Mackenzie in
Mackenzie, BC. All of these mills operate under a common TietoEnator
system to harmonize business and manufacturing processes, and to
generate comparable reports for manufacturing and shipping.

Paul Wisniewski, Manager of IT and Process Engineering at the
Snowflake mill says: "We went with the TietoEnator system because it
was an agreed upon corporate standard in Abitibi-Consolidated. The
system allows us to pool our IT resources with the other mills in the
corporation that run the same MES. Standardizing reduces our overall
support costs and unifies our corporate business processes. We're
looking forward to improved data availability and more tightly
integrating our information systems."

To provide a value-added solution to the Snowflake mill, the new MES
had to meet requirements for increased efficiency and control. Steve
Latham of TietoEnator Forest in North America, says "Tight
integration with Abitibi-Consolidated's centralized Sales Order
Processing and Transportation Management systems provides excellent
overall visibility and control of the ordering, manufacturing, and
shipping processes. The system roll-out was completed in six months
and fully met the project requirements."
