OKMETIC'S CAPITAL MARKET EVENT: THE COMPANY AIMS AT STRONG LONG-TERM GROWTH AND
CONFIRMS EXISTING GUIDANCE FOR 2011

Okmetic Oyj arranges a Capital Markets Day targeted for institutional investors
and analysts in Helsinki today, Friday, 16 September starting at 9.00 a.m. The
theme of the day is "Investing in Long-Term Growth". The management will present
business outlook, strategy and core objectives. The presentation materials will
be available at the company's website, www.okmetic.com, today Friday at 9.00
a.m.

The goal of the company is profitable growth. The growth strategy launched in
2010 is based on core competences and commercialisation of long-term development
projects. Announced this spring, the 30 million euro investment in increasing
the production capacity of demanding SOI wafers is a natural and important
continuation of earlier investments in the manufacture of high added value
products. Okmetic is a global market leader in SOI wafers for MEMS applications,
and the aim is to further strengthen this market leadership. Long-term forecasts
by market research companies project significant growth in all Okmetic's
customer industries.

The operational environment is challenging in the second half of 2011.
Macroeconomic challenges produce uncertainty and balancing of inventories in the
electronics industry value chain. The short-term market view for the
semiconductor and solar cell industries is uncertain. Semiconductor market
appears to exceptionally contract in 3Q2011, traditionally the time for
strongest demand of a year. On the other hand, demand for sensor wafers,
particularly SOI wafers, remains strong.

Okmetic's flexible operational model, strong emphasis on sensor wafers, and
long-term supply contracts with solar cell manufacturers secure a good level of
business and profitability in 2011, as well. The company confirms existing
guidance, according to which the net sales and operating profit of 2011 are
estimated to exceed the level of 2010. Reaching these estimates means that the
current market situation must not see any significant changes during the rest of
the year.

In spring 2011, the long-term growth forecast of the company was raised so that
long-term organic net sales grow a minimum of 10 percent annually. Regarding the
operating profit, the goal is unchanged at over 10 percent of net sales.
