    PLYMOUTH, Mich., May 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Simpson Industries, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SMPS) today announced that the independent inspector's preliminary

that shareholders had voted to support management by electing all management
nominees to the Board of Directors and rejecting the proposal of MMI
Investments by a wide margin.  Although the votes were tabulated by a
respected independent firm, MMI Investments has challenged the results.  It is
anticipated that a final report will be available within a week.
