Rautaruukki Corporation Press release 12 November 2012 at 10.15am EET

Ruukki has signed contracts with Nimag Projekt Ab and Peab for the design,
manufacture and installation of steel frames and load-bearing roof structures
for the Bauhaus store near Stockholm and for Ikano's shopping centre to be built
in Uddevalla, Sweden. The contracts are worth a total of around EUR 6 million.

Under the contract signed with Nimag Projekt Ab, Ruukki will design and deliver
the steel frame, load-bearing roof structures and façades, including
installation, for the new Bauhaus store to be built in the municipality of
Upplands Väsby near Stockholm.

Under the contract signed with construction firm Peab Sverige AB, Ruukki will
design and deliver the steel frame and load-bearing roof structures, ready
installed, for a 25,000 m(2).shopping centre being built   in Uddevalla for Ikano.
The shopping centre will also include an Ikea store.

"These contracts strengthen, in line with our strategy, our position in retail
and logistics construction in Sweden. We have numerous showcases of retail
single-storey construction from the past few years, where we have been able to
offer customers energy-efficient envelope and frame building solutions.
Likewise, we also have a strong foothold in logistics construction, an example
of which is Sweden Post's new sorting centre completed this year at Hallsberg in
Central Sweden," says Sami Eronen, SVP, Building Projects at Ruukki
Construction.

The structures for the Uddevalla project will be manufactured at Ruukki's plant
in Gargzdai in Lithuania and those for the Upplands Väsby project will be
manufactured jointly by Ruukki's plants in Gargzdai, Lithuania and Seinäjoki,
Finland. Deliveries and installation for the Ikano building will be made by the
end of this year and for the Bauhaus store by the end of June 2013.
