Ferronordic Machines to become distributor of Rottne Industri AB


Press Release

Stockholm, 20 September 2016
Ferronordic Machines has entered into an agreement with Rottne Industri AB under
which the company will become the official distributor for Rottne forestry
equipment in all of Russia.

Rottne was founded in 1955 and is one of the pioneers in the mechanization of
the modern forest industry. The product range includes a complete program of
both forwarders and harvesters. As part of the cooperation with Ferronordic
Machines, Rottne will develop a new series of forwarders and harvesters for the
Russian market. All machines will be equipped with engines from Volvo Penta. By
the end of the year, the forwarder F15 8WD, with a 15 ton load capacity, will be
launched. Thereafter, during 2017, both 6- and 8-wheeled H11 harvester will be
introduced.

Lars Corneliusson, CEO of Ferronordic Machines, comments on the agreement: “We
are very pleased to be able to add yet another strong brand to our product
offering. The addition of Rottne machines will make us well equipped to capture
the potential of the increasingly important Russian forestry equipment market.
The Rottne machines are highly complementary to our Volvo CE offering, and the
fact that the machines will have Volvo engines only make the synergies even
greater”.

Rolf Andersson, CEO of Rottne, comments: “We are very excited about this new
cooperation. Ferronordic Machines is a strong and highly qualified service and
sales company on the Russian market. We strongly believe in the long-term
potential of the Russian forestry equipment market and are convinced that
Ferronordic Machine is the right partner for us to capture this opportunity.”

The appointment becomes effective in December upon the termination of
Ferronordic Machines’ current distribution agreement with Logset Oy. Ferronordic
Machines expects the sales of Rottne products to commence during the first
quarter of 2017. The appointment will not affect the results of this year.
