24 January 2000

Dana's Long Manufacturing Canadian Facilities Receive ISO 14001 Environmental Certification
    TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 21 -- Dana Corporation
announced today each of its Long Manufacturing Canadian facilities has
received ISO 14001 certification.  Long Manufacturing is one of the first
Canadian automotive suppliers to have all of its facilities ISO 14001
certified.  The Ontario facilities, located in Burlington, Cambridge,
Mississauga, Mount Forest, and Oakville, are registered to the international
environmental standard.
    ISO 14001 certification recognizes Long Manufacturing's support of
environmental protection and the prevention of pollution, along with ongoing
compliance with all North American environmental laws and regulations.
    To achieve the ISO 14001 certification, Long Manufacturing utilized an
Environmental Management System (EMS), which helped determine the
effectiveness of procedures and conformance to environmental policy. The EMS
employed management reviews, recycling programs, employee training and
awareness programs, and a communication campaign to ensure the success of the
environmental program.
    "We are very proud that Long Manufacturing is one of the first Canadian
automotive suppliers to have all of its facilities achieve this prestigious
distinction," said Allan Cameron, president of Fluid System Products for
Dana's Fluid System Group. "We now are striving to have all of our Fluid
System operations follow Long Manufacturing's example and become ISO 14001
certified."
