PEIKKO TO HAVE NEW SALES UNIT IN MINSK, BELARUS

During 2010 Peikko has already supplied concrete connections and
Deltabeams to major projects in Belarus. One of the biggest projects
where Peikko has been involved has been the shopping mall
"LIDO Minsk" via a Lithuanian partner. The decision to establish a
sales and technical support team in Minsk was a natural
continuation to serve the existing customers locally and find new
customers and partnerships. At the beginning the operations
include sales and technical support; however, there are already
plans for warehousing and other activities.

"Peikko is ready to introduce modern and sophisticated
construction products to market which is growing in demand for
volume and quality of construction. Peikko is also the first one
in our field to have local presence in the country. We are happy
to have already experienced personnel to join our local
Belarusian team and to take care for our new projects in the
area", says Topi Paananen, CEO of Peikko Group Corporation.
