/PRNewswire/ --

Ruukki has signed a contract to design, manufacture

and install the steel structures for the largest shopping

centre in Scandinavia. The contract is worth over

EUR

30 million

. When completed in Solna, near

Stockholm

in 2015, the Mall of Scandinavia will be the largest

shopping centre in Scandinavia and will consist of a

total of around 300,000 square metres spread across 7

storeys. Friends Arena (formerly known as Swedbank

Arena), for which Ruukki has also delivered the steel

structures, will be completed in autumn 2012 in the

same area.

"Mall of Scandinavia is Peab's largest contract ever and we will deliver a mall

far beyond the ordinary to our customer, Unibail-Rodamco. Ruukki and

Strängbetong were the entrepreneurs who showed us that together they had

adequate resources and technical expertise for the assignment. We appreciate

the same commitment and desire to work towards "A clean site is a Safe site"

principle as Ruukki demonstrated in our previous project of Stockholm

Waterfront," says

Claes Ullén

, Peab Construction Manager, Mall of

Scandinavia.

Mall of Scandinavia is being built for Unibail-Rodamco. The main contractor is

the Swedish company Peab Sverige AB, to which Ruukki and the Swedish

company Strängbetong will make the frame deliveries together.

"The steel structures to be delivered by Ruukki are an important part of the

entire building. This is the largest single frame structure contract in

Sweden

in

Ruukki's history. Ruukki's strengths are project management expertise at large

sites, optimised design and building solutions together with long-standing

cooperation with key actors. This type of project is our core expertise and we

have plenty of experience of large commercial construction projects," says

Sami Eronen

, SVP Building Projects, Ruukki Construction.

Deliveries will begin in September this year and installation work is scheduled

for completion in

September 2014

. The entire building will be completed in

autumn 2015.

Ruukki provides its customers with energy-efficient steel solutions for better

living, working and moving. Ruukki operates in some 30 countries and employs

around 11,800 people. Net sales in 2011 totalled

EUR 2.8 billion

. The company's

share is quoted on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki (Rautaruukki Oyj: RTRKS).
