AAK will initiate construction of a new speciality and semi-speciality edible
oils factory in Jundiai, São Paulo, Brazil.

“There is a large potential for AAK in the Brazilian market. It is the world´s
7th largest economy and a number of our global customers already have
significant presence. Currently AAK has a well established Chocolate &
Confectionery business supplying out of our factory in Montevideo, Uruguay.
However, pursuing our global growth strategy, AAK needs to be present with
production capability also in Brazil. This new factory is an integral part of
AAKtion, and adds presence in a growth market which is identified as
strategically important”, says Arne Frank, President and CEO, AAK Group.

The investment is expected to be approximately SEK 400 million over a two-year
period. The start-up of the new factory is planned for the latter part of 2015
and fully utilized it will increase AAK´s total capacity by 100,000 to 120,000
MT.

“The new factory will expand our product portfolio of Food Ingredients and
Chocolate & Confectionery products in Brazil and particularly strengthen our
ability of supplying Bakery and Dairy solutions as well as further develop our
Chocolate & Confectionery business. The new factory will also include an
Innovation Center which will give our customers the possibility to work closely
with AAK´s Customer Innovation team when developing new products and solutions”,
