PKC GROUP STARTS CO-DETERMINATION NEGOTIATIONS IN FINLAND                       

In order to safeguard the PKC Group's future and ensure competitiveness in the  
tight global competition, it is necessary to improve efficiency and reorganise  
operations. As part of the streamlining measures, PKC Group Oyj initiates       
co-determination negotiations in its unit in Kempele due to financial and       
production reasons and the restructuring of operations. The negotiations may    
lead to lay-offs of 50 persons in the white collar personnel groups.            

Negotiations will commence on May 14, 2008 and they are expected to last about  
six weeks.
