MSX International Sales Increase 36% in 2000

    AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 27 MSX International's sales for
the year ended December 31, 2000 increased 36% to $1.04 billion from $760
million in fiscal 1999.  The increase included growth in all service lines.
Internal growth was complemented by incremental sales of approximately $198
million from companies acquired in fiscal year 1999 and 2000.  Sales to non-
automotive customers in fiscal 2000 increased to about 21% of total sales, in
contrast to about 11% during fiscal 1999.

    Operating income for 2000 was $57.1 million compared to operating income
of $38.3 million, a 49% increase.  Existing businesses contributed $8.8
million of the increase.  Net income was $14.9 million, representing a 46%
increase from $10.2 million in fiscal 1999.  Operating and net income
increased due to the increased sales generated by existing businesses and from
the impact of acquisitions.  Improvements in operating income were partially
offset by an increase in the effective tax rate and increased borrowing costs.

    Thomas Stallkamp, vice chairman and chief executive officer, remarked, "We
are pleased to report another record year.  As the technology sector evolves,
MSX International's global resources and customer base provide a foundation
for continuing growth.  Although our larger US automotive customers have
recently announced some cutbacks, our balanced service offering and increased
sales to non-automotive customers moderate the impact of these actions on MSX
International's growth."
