HOLLAND, MI - July 25, 2000 - CLARION TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (NASDAQ:CLAR) today announced that it has completed the transaction to transition the customer base of Small Parts - NAPCO, L.L.C. to Clarion. This transaction is anticipated to bring an additional $9 million in annualized sales to Clarion.

As part of the transaction, Clarion will be purchasing the net working capital of Small Parts - NAPCO and will reimburse the sellers for certain transition costs. No buildings or equipment will be acquired. The total net purchase price is expected to approximate $2.4 million.

Small Parts - NAPCO, located in Wauseon, Ohio, was owned and managed by Small Parts, Inc. of Logansport, Indiana since 1996. The parent company has been producing and selling small, custom precision stampings and springs to industrial markets since 1958. The Wauseon facility focused on plastic injection molding and engineered subassemblies.

Clarion Technologies and Small Parts anticipate entering into a strategic alliance agreement and a technical assistance agreement aimed at providing both companies and their core customers with transitional continuity and product development strength.

The core customers from Small Parts - NAPCO primarily serve the automotive interior trim and household appliance markets. All of the manufacturing of these products will be relocated into Clarion's existing manufacturing facilities. Clarion will not assume any operations at the Wauseon facility.

"Clarion Technologies will continue to pursue excellence as we serve the customers previously served by Small Parts - NAPCO," said Bill Beckman, President of Clarion. "We are confident that Clarion's expertise in the injection molding industry will allow us to exceed the expectations of NAPCO's customers and provide a level of service which will enable them to further grow their businesses, in turn enabling Clarion to continue to accomplish our growth goals."

"Small Parts is looking forward to returning our primary focus to the precision stamping business," said Clay Barnes, Chief Executive Officer of Small Parts, Inc. "The transfer of NAPCO's business to Clarion will allow us to do that, and we are comfortable knowing that our customers can benefit from Clarion's proven experience in injection molding."

"Injection molding plastic is the business we do every day," Beckman agreed. "Clarion anticipates a very smooth transition as we add these new customers to our operations."

The Small Parts - NAPCO transaction is a continuation of Clarion's strategic plan, which includes a goal of achieving annualized run-rate sales of $300 million by the end of 2001, $500 million by the end of 2002, and ultimately a billion dollars. About 80 percent of that growth is expected to come from acquiring other companies, and the remaining 20 percent is expected to come from internal growth. Since April of 1999, Clarion has completed five acquisitions and has increased sales from $5 million in the first quarter of 1999 to current annualized sales of approximately $125 million.

As a full-service supplier to the automotive, heavy truck, furniture and consumer goods industries, Clarion provides capabilities ranging from product ideation, engineering and tooling, to manufacturing and assembly of a final product. Clarion now operates from six manufacturing facilities and a technical design center with a total of approximately 700,000 square feet located in Michigan, Ohio and South Carolina. Clarion's manufacturing operations include 150 injection molding machines ranging in size from 50 to 5000 tons of clamping force.
