SELVAAGBYGG OUTSOURCES MACHINERY OPERATIONS TO RAMIRENT IN NORWAY             

Having outsourced its electrification and power equipment to Ramirent's         
subsidiary in Norway, Bautas, in November 2009, Selvaagbygg now expands its     
cooperation by outsourcing its entire machinery operation and signs a three year
rental agreement with Bautas.                                                   

”Strategic co-operation agreements like this are important for both parties,”   
says Eivind Bøe, Managing director of Bautas. ”Selvaagbygg will be able to      
concentrate on its core activity while enhancing efficiency and reducing costs  
related to equipment usage. We expect the outsourcing trend to continue to      
increase as it gives a competitive advantage to those who opt for it. We are    
committed to develop and optimise together with Selvaagbygg the delivery of     
equipment and related rental services to simplify and increase productivity in  
their operations,” concludes Bøe.                                               

Bautas Norway's largest equipment rental company has 40 outlets that serve the  
entire country. Selvaagbygg, a family-owned company with over 60 years of       
experience in residential building, is today one of Norway's largest residential
