Noble International Announces Organizational Changes

WARREN, Mich., June 2 -- Noble International, Ltd. ("Noble" or the "Company") today announced changes to the management structure of its Noble Metal Processing ("NMP") subsidiary to support the ongoing growth of the Company. Effective June 6, 2005, Steve Prue will assume the role of Vice President, Noble Advanced Technologies, a newly- created position. He will be succeeded as Vice President of Sales by Craig Parsons, formerly NMP's Business Unit Director - International. Both positions will report directly to Christopher L. Morin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Noble.

Concurrent with these changes, Tim Emmitt has resigned from the position of Chief Operating Officer of Noble International to pursue other opportunities. Bryan Bickimer, NMP's Vice President of Operations, will now report directly to Mr. Morin and assume Mr. Emmitt's operational responsibilities on an interim basis.

Prior to joining Noble, Mr. Prue was President and founder of Laser Welding International, Inc. ("LWI"), the leading supplier of curvilinear laser-welded blanks that was acquired by Noble in January 2004. Mr. Parsons came to Noble from its predecessor, Utilase Blank Welding, which he joined in 1993. In his previous position with Noble, Mr. Parsons had responsibility for Noble's international business development efforts.

Commenting on the management changes, Mr. Morin stated, "I'm pleased to announce the expanded new roles that Craig and Steve are taking on. Steve has been instrumental in developing our 21st Century Auto Body Solutions strategy and will now focus his efforts on executing this strategy. His years of experience in developing and commercializing new products and technologies at LWI make him the ideal choice to head Noble Advanced Technologies. Likewise, Craig has been a driving force in Noble's growth by communicating our products' value to our customers as well as successfully launching our first overseas operation in Australia. Noble has many opportunities to drive the market for laser-welded blanks and tubular products that we are aggressively pursuing. I am confident that Craig and Steve will provide the product development and sales leadership needed to capitalize on these opportunities and drive our continuing growth."
