Dana Corporation Receives Ohio Excellence in Exporting Award

    TOLEDO, Ohio, June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Corporation (NYSE: DCN) was
recognized for its successes in the global marketplace by Ohio Governor Bob
Taft at a luncheon held in Columbus today.  Taft presented Dana with the
Governor's Excellence in Exporting Award ("E" Award).
    "Dana recognizes the opportunities present in the global market, as well
as the importance of seizing those opportunities," said Tony Shelbourn, vice
president and general manager, Dana World Trade.  "One of the benefits of
expanding our presence in global markets is the potential to expand employment
opportunities wherever Dana operations are located."
    Part of Dana's strategic plan "Beyond 2000" calls for the company to
obtain 50 percent of its total sales from outside the United States.  In 1998,
41 percent of Dana's gross sales were to countries other than the United
States.
    Taft said he is committed to encouraging all Ohio companies to take
advantage of the world marketplace.  "In doing so, I am confident our firms
will find the success and benefits that today's 'E' Award winners have found
through their international trade efforts."
    The Governor's Excellence in Exporting Award annually recognizes Ohio
companies that have increased sales and Ohio-based employment as a result of
export activity, or have developed and implemented a strategy to expand
international sales.
    Dana Corporation is one of the world's largest independent suppliers to
vehicle manufacturers and their related aftermarkets.  Founded in 1904 and
