Atlas Copco's Capital Markets Day

Atlas Copco's Capital Markets Day

Stockholm, Sweden, November 20, 2007: Atlas Copco today holds its annual capital
markets day. The event takes place at Atlas Copco's Rock Excavation Technology
center in Örebro, Sweden, and will provide an overview of the Group's strategy
and ongoing activities, with a special focus on the construction and mining
markets.

“We have a solid platform for future growth and are confident we will continue
adding substantial shareholder value in the years to come,” says Gunnar Brock,
President and CEO. “We see strong growth drivers in factors such as demand from
emerging markets, global infrastructure investments and our own development of
products that increase our customers' productivity and energy efficiency.”

Based on the market development so far in the fourth quarter, Gunnar Brock
reconfirms the near-term outlook given on October 24. “We believe that demand
for our products and services will remain at the current high level. The
positive outlook includes the main part of the construction segment, while
construction related to housing is expected to slow down, primarily in North
America.” 

Atlas Copco's business area Construction and Mining Technique is a world-leading
manufacturer of rock drilling tools and related equipment. This year's
acquisition of Dynapac added a range of paving and compaction equipment for road
construction. Some of this equipment will be presented at the meeting.

“The acquisition of Dynapac is strategically important and our expectations for
the development of our new division remain high. We are working hard to improve
efficiency at its factories and will see significant improvements already next
year,” says Björn Rosengren, President of Construction and Mining Technique.

About 100 analysts, investors and journalists will participate at the event,
which will also introduce Atlas Copco's divisions Underground Rock Excavation,
Surface Drilling Equipment, Construction Tools and Geotechnical Drilling and
Exploration.
