Noble International Announces First Quarterly Dividend

    DETROIT - Noble International, Ltd. today announced that its Board of 
Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share of Noble common 
stock to be paid June 30, 2000 to stockholders of record June 15, 2000.  This 
dividend is the first in a quarterly dividend program approved by the board of 
directors.

    Robert J. Skandalaris, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
stated that "This new dividend program begins a significant step toward the
commitment we have to reward the stockholders who have demonstrated their
support of the Company.  Noble has worked hard to achieve its financial
strength and stability and we believe that it is appropriate to pay a dividend
to our stockholders who have been behind our efforts in reaching those goals."

    The Company also announced today that it has terminated its relationship
with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.  J.P. Morgan was retained by the Company in
December of 1999 to review strategic opportunities to increase shareholder
value including the potential purchase, merger, sale or acquisition.  Based on
the information provided by J.P. Morgan, the board has concluded that the
Company should continue its strategy of developing its role as the leading
supplier of laser-welded blanks to the automotive industry as well as the
enhancement of stockholder value through opportunistic acquisitions.

    Mr. Skandalaris stated "We are appreciative of the effort J.P. Morgan put
into reviewing the opportunities available to the Company.  We are committed
to continuing our focus on the growing of our core automotive group as well as
expanding our presence in the non-automotive sector.  The metal processing
opportunities before us appear to be strong and we are capturing an increasing
share of the laser welding market.  We hope to enhance this growth with
additional capabilities and services.  We believe that the opportunities that
lie ahead of us will further our dominant position as a Tier II supplier and
bring added value to our stockholders."
