Exhibit 99.1

Noble International Announces

$16.3 Million Litigation Award

TROY, MI – SEPTEMBER 4, 2008 – Noble International, Ltd. (NASDAQ: NOBL) (the “Company”) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Noble Tube Technologies, LLC (collectively with the Company, “Noble”), received a litigation award of $16.3 million relating to Noble’s 2006 acquisition of Pullman Industries, Inc. (“Pullman”). The litigation award was a result of Noble’s claims that the former Pullman shareholders intentionally breached certain representations and warranties contained in the acquisition agreement. As a result of the award, Noble will not pay any of the $14 million of contingent consideration it had reserved for payment to the former shareholders pursuant to the acquisition agreement, and received an additional $2.3 million that was held in an escrow account pending resolution of the litigation. In addition, the Company will reverse approximately $1.7 million of accrued interest that may have become payable contingent upon the outcome of the litigation. This $18.0 million of pre-tax income will be reflected in the Company’s third quarter results.

Andrew J. Tavi, the Company’s Vice President and General Counsel, commented, “We are pleased to have achieved this result after a long and complex litigation process and believe the award reflects our efforts in carefully negotiating and enforcing the October 2006 stock purchase agreement.”

Thomas L. Saeli, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, also commented as follows, “The litigation outcome announced today not only provides a financial benefit to the Company, but also allows management to now focus all of our time and energy on the many ongoing initiatives we have put in place to achieve optimum performance in the current economic environment.”
