MSX INTERNATIONAL RECEIVES INTERIM WAIVER FROM BANK GROUP

SOUTHFIELD, MICH., DECEMBER 23, 2002 -- MSX International announced today that
we have received an interim waiver at the end of our fiscal year of certain
financial covenants in our $150 million, bank-syndicated credit agreement. The
waiver agreement, signed on December 20, 2002, is in effect through February 17,
2003. We expect to revise the terms of our credit agreement with our bank group
before that date.

Under the terms of the waiver, MSX International will temporarily reduce the
revolving portion of our credit facility from $85 million to $65 million. As of
September 29, 2002, we had $46.6 million of availability under our credit
facility. After giving effect to the temporary reduction in our revolver, our
unused borrowing capacity would be $26.6 million, which management believes is
adequate for current operating requirements.

MSX International, headquartered in Southfield, Mich., combines innovative
people, standardized processes and today's technologies to deliver a
collaborative, competitive advantage on a global basis. With annual sales of
more than $800 million, MSX International has 8,600 employees in 26 countries.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT

Certain of the statements made in this press release including, without
limitation, statements regarding liquidity, receipt of waivers under our Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, the success of restructuring activities, and
other operational improvements constitute "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking statements are based on current management projections and
expectations. They involve significant risks and uncertainties. As such, they
are not guarantees of future performance. MSX International disclaims any intent
or obligation to update such statements.

Actual results may vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements
as a result of any number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of
management. These important factors include: our leverage and related exposure
to changes in interest rates; our reliance on major customers in the automotive
industry and the timing of their product development and other initiatives; the
market demand for our collaborative enterprise services in general; our ability
to recruit and place qualified personnel; delays or unexpected costs associated
with cost reduction efforts; risks associated with operating internationally,
including economic, political and currency risks; and risks associated with our
acquisition strategy. Additional information concerning these and other factors
are discussed in MSX International's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (dated
July 20, 1999), in the discussion under the heading "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (dated March 8, 2002), and in other filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
