    FORT WAYNE, Ind., May 9 For the second consecutive year,
the Spicer Light Axle Group of Dana Corporation has earned the
Circle of Excellence Award presented by the Indiana Regional Minority Supplier
Development Council (IRMSDC).  The award, which is sponsored by the National
Minority Supplier Development Council, recognizes the axle group's
"outstanding efforts and dedication toward the advancement of minority
enterprises."
    Specifically, Dana's Spicer Light Axle Group was recognized by the IRMSDC
as Northern Indiana's top company in the manufacturing category for purchasing
materials and services from minority suppliers.
    Spicer Light Axle Group Director of Procurement & Supply Jim Hensel said,
"Spicer Light Axle and Dana Corporation are extremely proud to have been
recognized once again as a leader in the advancement of minority enterprises.
This success is the result of the many mutually beneficial partnerships our
manufacturing and assembly operations have forged with minority suppliers over
the past several years."
    Spicer Light Axle Group facilities have made significant progress in
purchases from minority suppliers, advancing from $2.1 million in minority
purchases in 1996 to $18.25 million in 1999.  The Group expects to make more
than $25 million in purchases from minority suppliers this year.
    "Our significant growth in minority purchases over the past several years
is indicative of Dana's commitment to this important endeavor," Hensel added.
