PRESS RELEASE [PECHINEY LOGO OMITTED] Pechiney Acquires Chilean Leader in Wine Overcapping Paris, June 12, 2003 - Pechiney has announced that its subsidiary, Pechiney Capsules (sales of (euro)96 million in 2002), has acquired the Chilean company Enocap. Pechiney Capsules specializes in caps and overcaps for wine, champagne, liquors and spirits. Enocap achieves annual sales of almost $US 3 million and employs approximately 40 people in its Santiago plant. Enocap was founded in 1996 and swiftly became the leader in the Chilean overcapping market, of which it has a 50% share. The company manufactures a wide range of capsules (PVC, metal-plastic composites, champagne caps). "We want to develop in South America, particularly in Chile, which has great wines and is enjoying global growth in wine exports," stated Bruno de Tremiolles, Chairman and CEO of Pechiney Capsules. "We are especially satisfied with the agreement signed with Enocap, which has achieved national leadership through manufacturing excellence and outstanding service quality." Enocap Chairman Nicolas Rodillo emphasized the opportunities raised by the agreement with Pechiney Capsules: "the Chilean market is growing more and more sophisticated by the day. Innovative products are required in line with the upscale trend in the country's wines. Our new partner's innovation capability will support us in serving our customers even more effectively and in winning new business."
