Fortaco focuses its strategy on vehicle cabins and sells steel fabricationand assembly operations to HANZA Group

Fortaco has signed today an agreement to sell steel fabrication and assembly operations in Finland, Estonia
and Poland to HANZA Group, a Sweden-based global contract manufacturer. The divestment sharpens
Fortaco’s strategic focus and creates the prerequisites to build a more focused international cabin company.
Additionally, it strengthens the company’s balance sheet.

Fortaco is the leading European strategic partner to the off-highway equipment OEMs worldwide with innovative
technology solutions and cabin design and manufacturing. The market is evolving rapidly, and we see attractive
growth opportunities to strengthen our position as a premium cabin manufacturer in Europe and beyond – both
organically and through M&A.

Fortaco and HANZA aim at building a strategic partnership for the future leveraging the complementary
strengths of both organizations and to create value for customers, accelerate innovations, and expand
opportunities across existing and new markets.

The transaction includes five Fortaco factories: assembly operations in Kurikka and Sastamala as well as steel
fabrication business sites in Narva, Wroclaw and Janow Lubelski. Business Site Gliwice in Poland is not
included in the transaction because ramp-up is still ongoing. We are confident that HANZA will support the
business’s continued success for the benefit of our customers, suppliers, and employees.
We expect the transaction to be closed in October 2026, subject to customary approvals and closing conditions.

We communicate proactively with customers, suppliers, and other business partners to ensure timely and
relevant information. Maintaining strong customer and supplier relationships is our key priority. Our intention is
to ensure continuity throughout the transition.

Until closing, Fortaco and HANZA continue operating independently. Existing products, services, purchase
orders, agreements, contacts, invoicing, payment terms, and day-to-day processes remain unchanged.
We believe this transaction creates a strong foundation for the future. We value the partnership built over the
years with our suppliers and looking forward to continuing collaboration with you. If you have any further
