Integrating and differentiating

Visteon aims to leverage its global presence by effective integration of technology and providing customers with efficient ways to differentiate their vehicles.

Over the last year,Visteon has undergone a restructuring to eliminate unprofitable business units. The result is a focus on three primary areas-climate control, electronics, and interiors-which form the basis of its new global footprint and where all development efforts are now channeled.

“Since we came to agreement with Ford to return a number of plants, our three product area businesses are roughly balanced, with close to 30% in each area,” said John Kill, Senior Vice President and President, North America Customer Group, Visteon. “Looking at regional business when we include our unconsolidated joint ventures, we are roughly equally divided among Asia, North America, and Europe. So not only do we have a balanced portfolio, our regional footprint is balanced as well.”
