Tieto Corporation Stock Exchange Release 30 November 2015 10.30 EET
Tieto has acquired Imano AB, a Swedish consulting company offering consulting
services and helping its clients in the paper and forest industries digitalize
their business processes. The company has approximately 50 employees in Sweden
and its revenue in 2014 was EUR 7.1 million (SEK 66 million).

Tieto is currently the global leader in providing production and production
planning systems, based on its own software, and one of the leading companies
offering IT services to the pulp and paper industry in the Nordics. The
acquisition supports Tieto’s objective of becoming the largest IT services
provider in the paper and forest industries in Sweden and Norway.

“Tieto has 40 years of experience working in the intersection of technology and
business in the paper and forest industry. This acquisition complements our
competence portfolio especially in the fibre sourcing business and enables us to
expand our end-to-end solutions for the forest value chain from woods to end
-user goods. The new consultancy capability provided by Imano will also open our
business to new potential clients in Sweden and Norway,” says Henrik Reims, Head
of Forest Industry at Tieto.

“Imano is the leading consulting company in fibre sourcing in Sweden. By
combining our deep industry expertise with Tieto’s global delivery and full
stack of IT services, we can seize this great opportunity to continue to grow
and offer customers new exciting solutions,” says Christer Lindqvist, Managing
Director of Imano AB.
