Ponsse wins large-volume orders from Latin America                              

Ponsse has agreed to deliver a total of 67 cut-to-length method forest machines 
and 44 harvester heads to Brazil and Uruguay. The deal concerns PONSSE forest   
machines and harvester heads as well as services relating to the use of the     
products. The products will be delivered to Brazil's Bahia Pulp and Uruguayan   
wood harvesting contractors.                                                    

The PONSSE harvester heads will be manufactured at Ponsse's Mogi das Cruzes     
factory in Brazil and the PONSSE harvesters and forwarders at Ponsse's Vieremä  
factory in Finland. The contracts also include training a significant number of 
people to become forest machine operators as well as technical support and      
maintenance personnel.                                                          

“The demand for cut-to-length method forest machines is growing. We will        
continue the development of our sales and maintenance service network in Latin  
America as well, which is one of the key growth areas of our business. We want  
to operate close to our customers and are committed to offering them            
comprehensive solutions. In this way, the customer gets the forest machines that
fit their needs and lifetime support for these machines,” says Arto Tiitinen,   
President and CEO of Ponsse Oyj.

American network was the establishment of Ponsse Uruguay in Uruguay.
