Atlas Copco -- Capital Markets Days 2004


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 12, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Atlas Copco:

We are pleased to invite you to Atlas Copco's Capital Markets Day 2004. This time we will meet in Orebro, Sweden, on September 21, 2004.

The purpose of the meeting is to give an update on the strategy and development of the Atlas Copco Group and also to cover a specific theme. This time we want to focus on the Construction & Mining Technique business area and use this meeting to give you a more in-depth look at our activities in this business. Orebro, located about two hours west of Stockholm, is Atlas Copco's Rock Excavation Technology Center.

At this time, I would like you to mark the day in your calendar. The program will start in the morning and finish following a dinner in the evening. Instructions of how to register for the event and more detailed information will be distributed prior to the event.

If you would like to re-address this invitation to someone else in your organization, or if you have any queries, please contact

Yours sincerely, Atlas Copco AB
