FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 22, 1994


MASCOTECH, INC. ANNOUNCES MAJOR RESTRUCTURING

MascoTech, Inc. has announced the planned disposition of a number of businesses,
including its Architectural Products and Defense businesses, and certain of its
transportation-related businesses as part of its long-term strategic plan to
increase the focus on its core operating capabilities.

The businesses to be disposed of have annual sales of approximately $700
million, including over $300 million of transportation-related sales, and in
1994 are expected, in aggregate, to perform at an approximate break-even
operating profit level.  The Company believes these businesses, which have net
assets of approximately $700 million, will be disposed of for after-tax net cash
and other proceeds of approximately $400 million.  The disposition of these
businesses will primarily occur in 1995 with the cash portion of the proceeds
applied to reduce the Company's indebtedness and to provide additional capital
to invest in its core businesses.

The Company will record a special charge, currently estimated at approximately
$300 million after tax, in the fourth quarter of 1994 for the anticipated loss
on the disposition of these businesses, which will result in a substantial loss
for the quarter and the year.  However, the Company expects that this
restructuring should have a favorable long-term effect on the Company's balance
sheet and future per common share earnings.

Upon the completion of this restructuring, MascoTech's core transportation-
related businesses, with annual sales of approximately $1 billion, will include:
powertrain and chassis components manufactured through the application of
advanced metalworking technologies; contract engineering services that support
customers' vehicle development process; and products manufactured for
distribution principally to the traditional, retail and heavy-duty segments of
the automotive aftermarket.

As previously announced, the Company has made significant expenditures and
commitments in 1994 for capital programs, including new advanced manufacturing
technologies, to support these core transportation-related businesses.  These
additional investments, which will continue in 1995 and are expected to
aggregate approximately $260 million for both years, reflect the Company's
belief in the businesses' favorable long-term outlook and are planned to meet
increased demand for certain current product programs.  These expenditures will
also provide capacity for new products that the Company expects to begin
producing over the next several years, and enhance the Company's leadership
positions in advanced manufacturing technologies related to its forging and
metal forming businesses.

                                 MascoTech, Inc.

         Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements


      The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet and
statement of operations give effect to the following transactions which have
occurred or which are assumed to occur:

      -     the assumed disposition for cash, except for known non-cash
            transactions, of the net assets held for disposition at December 31,
            1994 with the cash proceeds utilized to retire debt.

      The pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements reflect these
transactions as if they had been completed with all proceeds (including tax
benefits) received at the beginning of the period presented for the consolidated
condensed statement of operations and as of December 31, 1994 for the
consolidated condensed balance sheet.

      The pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of the results which
would actually have been reported if the transactions had occurred on such dates
or which may be reported in the future.  The pro forma data should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company and the
related notes to such financial statements.  To comply with 8-K pro forma
financial statement requirements, the historical financial statements exclude
discontinued operations (the Company's recently disposed energy-related business
segment has been accounted for as discontinued operations) and extraordinary
items.

      Primary loss per common share is based on 58.9 million weighted average
shares of common stock outstanding.  The effect of stock options, warrants and
convertible preferred stock (common stock equivalents) was anti-dilutive based
on historical results.

      Pro forma earnings per common share is based on the modified treasury
stock method.  Primary earnings per common share after adjustments is based on
73.5 million shares outstanding including approximately 14.6 million of common
stock equivalents.  Fully diluted earnings per common share after adjustments is
based on 83.6 million shares outstanding including the assumed conversion of
convertible securities into 10.1 million shares.
