      On September 30, 1997, the Registrant exercised its option and exchanged
approximately 9.9 million shares of the outstanding common stock of Emco Limited
("Emco") and approximately $46 million in cash to Masco Corporation ("Masco") in
payment of a promissory note issued by the Registrant in October 1996 in
connection with the Registrant's purchase and retirement of certain of its
securities held by Masco.  The value of the Emco shares (approximately $106

previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Registrant's
press release issued September 30, 1997 announcing the transfer of the Emco 
shares is attached as Exhibit 99.a hereto.

      Masco holds approximately 17% of the Registrant's outstanding common 
stock. Richard A. Manoogian is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the 
Registrant and Masco.  John A. Morgan is a director of both the Registrant and 
Masco, and Eugene A. Gargaro, Jr., a director and the Secretary of the

                                  MascoTech, Inc.
          Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements


      The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet and
income statements give effect to the following transactions which have occurred:

  Disposition of Operations:

      -     the disposition for cash, except for known non-cash transactions, of
            the net assets of businesses held for disposition or sold, 
            undertaken in 1994 and completed in 1996, with the cash proceeds 
            utilized to retire debt.

      -     the disposition in May 1996 of MascoTech Stamping Technologies, Inc.
            for cash, common stock and warrants with the cash proceeds 
            (including cash realized from the subsequent sale of a portion of 
            the common stock) utilized to retire debt.

      -     the sale in January 1997 of MascoTech Technical Services Group
            (including APX International, acquired by MascoTech November 6, 
            1996) for cash (net of the purchase of APX International), common 
            and preferred stock of MSX International, Inc., and notes with the 
            net cash proceeds utilized to retire debt.

  Stock/Warrant Purchase:

      -     the purchase and retirement in 1996 of:  17 million shares of
            MascoTech (the Company) Common Stock and the warrant to purchase 10
            million shares of Company Common Stock from Masco Corporation; and 
            one million shares of Company Common Stock from Richard A. 
            Manoogian, Chairman of the Board of both Masco Corporation and 
            MascoTech, Inc.
     
  Emco Exchange:

      -     the exchange of the Company's equity holdings in Emco Limited to 
            Masco Corporation together with cash borrowings under the Company's
            Revolving Credit Agreement, to retire indebtedness to Masco
            Corporation and Mr. Manoogian incurred in the Company's 1996 
            purchase and retirement of Company Common Stock.

      The pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements reflect these
transactions as if they had been completed with all proceeds (including related
tax benefits) received at the beginning of the period presented for the
consolidated condensed income statements and as of June 30, 1997 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.

      Primary earnings per common share for the twelve months ended December 31,
1996 is based on 53.8 million weighted average shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding.  The Company's Dividend Enhanced Convertible 
Stock (DECS) was not included as such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  
Convertible debt securities did not have a dilutive effect on earnings per 
common share in 1996.

      Pro forma primary earnings per common share for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1996 is based on 49.0 million shares outstanding including
approximately .9 million of common stock equivalents and 10.8 million common
shares from the assumed conversion of the DECS.  Fully diluted earnings per 
common share after adjustments is based on 59.3 million shares outstanding 
including the assumed conversion of convertible debt securities into 10.0 
million common shares.

<PAGE>

      Both primary earnings per common share and pro forma primary earnings per
common share for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are based on 49.5 million
shares outstanding including approximately 1.3 million of common stock 
equivalents and 10.5 million common shares from the assumed conversion of the 
DECS.  Fully diluted earnings per common share are based on 59.5 million shares
outstanding including the assumed conversion of convertible debt securities into
10.0 million common shares.

Exhibit 99.a



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 30, 1997


                MASCOTECH ANNOUNCES TRANSFER OF EMCO LIMITED EQUITY
                               TO MASCO CORPORATION


      MascoTech announced today that it has exercised its option to transfer its
equity holdings in Emco Limited to Masco Corporation.  This transfer and a 
payment of approximately $50 million in cash, satisfies the indebtedness to 
Masco Corporation incurred last year in connection with the Company's purchase
and retirement of certain of its common shares held by Masco Corporation, as
previously announced. The transfer of the Company's equity holdings in Emco, 
which approximates $100 million in value, will result in a pre-tax gain to 
MascoTech of approximately $46 million in the third quarter of 1997.

      Headquartered in Taylor, Michigan, MascoTech's transportation-related
businesses include  metal-worked components primarily for vehicle engine and
drivetrain applications and automotive aftermarket products.
