Noble Signs Joint Venture Agreement to Operate Silao, Mexico Facility

WARREN, Mich., Nov. 2, 2005 -- Noble International, Ltd. ("Noble" or the "Company") announced today that the Company and Sumitomo Corporation ("Sumitomo"), through certain of their respective subsidiaries, have signed a joint venture agreement to operate the facility in Silao, Mexico that Noble acquired in January, 2005.

As part of the agreement, Noble and Sumitomo have created a new entity, Noble Summit Metal Processing de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Noble Summit"), with Sumitomo holding a 49% interest in the venture. Noble will retain a majority in Noble Summit and manage the facility. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

Noble's President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher L. Morin, commented on the joint venture agreement, "Our joint venture with Sumitomo provides both Noble and Sumitomo with more growth opportunities in the Mexican market than either of us could have generated separately. Our partnership with Sumitomo allows us to combine our laser-welding technology with Sumitomo's global footprint and experience in various markets around the world. We are pleased to be working with Sumitomo as our partner and believe that this cooperative model offers the potential for entering new markets in other parts of the world."
