CALL ON MONDAY, MAY 12, 2008 at 9 AM ET

REITERATES FULL YEAR EXPECTATIONS AND PROGRESS ON TIMELY
ELIMINATION OF BORROWING OVER-ADVANCE

NEW HAVEN, CT, May 6, 2008 – Proliance International, Inc. (AMEX: PLI) will host a conference call on Monday, May 12, 2008 at 9:00 AM ET with Charles E. Johnson, President and CEO, and Arlen F. Henock, CFO. The call will be held to discuss the results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 that will be issued prior to the call. The call will be accessible live via a webcast on the Investor Relations section of www.pliii.com and a webcast replay will be available shortly thereafter.

The Company stated that it remains on track to achieve operating income in the range of $20 million for the full year 2008 excluding one-time costs associated with the damages sustained at the Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility, and operating expenses associated with amendments of its credit facility. In line with its annual operating income guidance, the Company expects to report a seasonal operating loss in its first quarter. The Company also continues to be on track to meet the earnings covenants contained in its credit agreement.

In addition, Proliance reiterated that it continues to expect to bring the borrowing base over-advance amount on its credit facility to zero by May 31, 2008, as required by amendments to its credit agreement. The Company currently expects to achieve the required reduction in the over-advance through a combination of operating results, working capital management and insurance proceeds, although there can be no assurance that the required reduction will be achieved.

Separately, the Company also stated that it continues to work toward raising a combination of $30 million or more in debt and/or equity to reduce or possibly replace its current credit facility and to provide additional working capital. At this time, the Company believes any debt and/or equity financing is likely to occur after May 31^st.

Proliance also noted that shipping performance from its temporary Southaven distribution facility continues to improve and that it expects to move into its new, permanent Southaven facility by end of June 2008.
