Noble International, Ltd. Engages Deloitte Touche, LLP As Its Independent Auditor

    DETROIT, Feb. 27 Noble International, Ltd.  ("Noble" or
the "Company") today reported that it has engaged Deloitte
Touche LLP as its independent accountants and auditors for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2001.  The Company replaced Grant Thornton, LLP, its
former accountant and auditors, with Deloitte Touche in order to utilize the
full array of professional services available from Deloitte Touche, as well as
its large national and international presence.
    Commenting on the change, David V. Harper, Noble's Chief Financial
Officer, stated, "We are very excited about our new relationship with Deloitte
Touche.  The resources and national presence of Deloitte Touche will be a
great benefit as Noble's automotive and logistic operations continue to grow
and expand.  Grant Thornton has provided us with valuable advice and services
since our engagement of them prior to our Initial Public Offering in 1997.
Although we do not have any disagreements with Grant Thornton regarding audits
of prior years, and are unaware of any for the current year, we believe that
the engagement of Deloitte Touche will serve Noble well in the future."
