Modine completes acquisition of Thermacore, enters electronics-
cooling market

     RACINE, Wis., April 27, 2001 - Modine Manufacturing Company
(Nasdaq: MODI) today completed the acquisition of Thermacore
International, Inc., in a pooling-of-interests transaction
announced originally on Dec. 14, 2000. Thermacore, based in
Lancaster, Pa., provides advanced thermal solutions for the
electronics industry.

     The total transaction is valued at $110 million, including
approximately $93.5 million through the exchange of about 3.6
million shares of Modine common stock for Thermacore common
stock. Modine also is assuming about $19 million in Thermacore
liabilities, net of cash.

     "I'm looking forward to the benefits that will flow from
this acquisition," said Donald R. Johnson, Modine president and
chief executive officer. "Advanced integrated-circuit performance
is producing more heat, leading to complex thermal problems on
the horizon. Modine will leverage both companies' complementary
technologies to focus on innovative and cost-effective solutions.
Combined, we are well-positioned to serve the large, electronics
OEMs who are looking for partners that have the proper
technological expertise, financial strength, and large-scale,
global manufacturing capabilities."

     "I'm excited about our prospects as part of Modine," said L.
Ronald Hoover, Thermacore's chairman, chief executive officer,
and president. "By joining forces with Modine, Thermacore will be
able to give customers a broad spectrum of electronics-cooling
solutions to meet evolving needs, including heat pipes, heat
sinks, liquid cooling, refrigeration, and phase-change
materials."

     Thermacore has 358 employees worldwide and operates
production facilities at: Lancaster; Guymas, Sonora, Mexico;
Ashington, Northumberland, U.K.; Taipei, Taiwan; and Inchon City,
Korea. Thermacore designs, develops, and manufactures highly
sophisticated, thermal-management products for equipment in
computer, telecommunications, networking, and power-semiconductor
markets. The company's offerings include advanced heat sinks,
heat pipes, heat exchangers, and customized solutions involving
combinations of thermal products in varying configurations.

     Modine's strengths include thermal-management technology,
manufacturing expertise, and a reputation for high-quality

products and service. This immediate growth opportunity in the
electronics-cooling industry complements Modine's recently
announced development work on CO2 (carbon dioxide) air-
conditioning systems and on thermal management of fuel cells.

     With sales of more than $1 billion, Modine has operations in
18 countries and employs about 8,000 persons worldwide. Modine
specializes in thermal management, bringing technology to
diversified markets. Core markets include: powertrain cooling of
internal combustion engines, vehicular and building-HVAC
