FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

             DAW TECHNOLOGIES RECEIVES DELISTING NOTICE FROM NASDAQ

       COMPANY WILL APPEAL DECISION OF NASDAQ LISTING QUALIFICATIONS PANEL

SALT LAKE CITY - JANUARY 27, 2002 -- DAW TECHNOLOGIES, INC. today announced that
its stock, trading under the symbol "DAWK," has been delisted from the Nasdaq
National Market as of the open of business on January 25, 2002.

According to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, Daw "failed to present a
definitive plan that will enable it to evidence compliance with all requirements
for continued listing on that market within a reasonable period of time and to
sustain compliance with those requirements over the long term."

Daw intends to appeal the delisting decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing
Review Council.

Daw was unable to comply with the Nasdaq listing standards as a result of its
inability to timely file its quarterly financial report for the third quarter of
2001, due to its inability to reconcile certain accounts from its European
operations.

In attempting to reconcile the accounts, Daw and its former and present
independent auditors determined that it would be necessary to restate previously
issued financial statements for fiscal years 1999 and 2000, and for all
quarterly periods since the creation of the company's European subsidiary in the
fourth quarter of 1999. Work on the restatement of those financial statements
continues, and the company will file applicable amendments to its previously
filed quarterly and annual reports as soon as the restatement is completed. Once
the required filings are complete, the company's stock may qualify to be traded
on the OTC-Bulletin Board pending the company's appeal of the Nasdaq delisting
decision.

Despite the recent accounting problems in the company's European office, the
business of the company continues apace. The company recently established a
subsidiary in Guadalajara, Mexico to serve the growing microelectronics and
pharmaceutical industries in Latin America, and the company's European
subsidiary is establishing a division offering the design and installation of
ultra high purity piping used in advanced manufacturing applications.

Daw has also begun installing automated material handling systems in 200 mm and
300 mm semiconductor fabs, and it is anticipated that these services could
eventually contribute a substantial amount to the company's revenue. In
addition, the company's contract manufacturing business unit expects January to
be its best month ever, and several international parties have expressed an
active interest in some of the company's newly developed cleanroom component
products.
