Modine receives patent decision in Japanese court

     RACINE, Wis., March 28, 2002  - Based on an unfavorable
decision from the Japanese patent office Board of Appeals,
Modine Manufacturing Company (NASDAQ: MODI) will no longer
receive royalty payments in Japan related to its parallel-
flow (PF(r)) technology.  Since July of 2000, Modine has been
receiving royalty payments from certain Japanese competitors
related to its PF patents, which expire in 2006. Over the last
twelve months, royalties from Japanese companies have accounted
for approximately $2.8 million of pretax income. The company is
reviewing its options regarding an appeal of the ruling.

     Over the last 10 years, Modine has been defending its PF
technology in Japan.  Modine had estimated a one-time
royalty payment of approximately $29.9 million to cover past
infringements if the validity of its PF patent in Japan was
confirmed.

     Since this ruling does not effect Modine's royalty income
outside of Japan,  Modine will continue to collect royalties for
PF products produced in Europe and the United States where, to
date, its patents have been upheld.

     Modine developed the PF design of heat exchangers with micro-
channels in 1986.  This technology has proven to be more efficient
in heat transfer than other designs and has become the standard in
the automotive industry.  In addition, Modine's PF technology has
helped automakers convert to non-chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants.

     Modine specializes in thermal management, bringing heating
and cooling technology to diversified markets.  Modine's products
are used in light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles, HVAC equipment,
industrial equipment, refrigeration systems, fuel cells and
electronics.  Modine can be found on the Internet at www.modine.com.

     This news release contains forward-looking statements that
involve assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, and Modine's actual
results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from

discussion of factors that could affect Modine's results are on

and in other public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Modine does not assume any obligation to update
any of these forward-looking statements.
