Customers Say Visteon is the Number One Systems Integrator

DEARBORN, Mich. (PROTEXT) - Being named "best of the best" by your customers is quite an achievement -- one that Visteon strives for every day and is very proud to achieve. In a recently completed survey of 1,800 professionals in the automotive industry, Visteon Automotive Systems was named the leading systems integrator among all automotive suppliers. In this category, manufacturers ranked Visteon especially favorable in quality -- consistently meeting or exceeding customer's standards -- and in providing consistent, dependable delivery of products and services. "This award is an important acknowledgment of the value we bring to our customers," said Visteon President Craig Muhlhauser. "Our competitive advantage is our nearly 100 years of vehicle systems engineering expertise, Visteon uses this expertise to integrate innovative systems solutions into vehicles unlike any other supplier in the world -- clearly, our customers agree." Systems integration is only one category in which Visteon was named the leading supplier. Visteon also was voted number one in the Body Exterior and Transmission/Drivetrain Systems product categories. Visteon was the only supplier to be awarded the number one position in three different categories. "It is especially rewarding for customers to recognize Visteon's employees' hard work and dedication to providing outstanding customer service and value," added Muhlhauser. "We are all very proud of this accomplishment." The second annual "Quest for Excellence" survey, conducted by Automotive Industries and Pricewaterhouse Coopers, asked automotive manufacturers to rate their suppliers in 20 different product categories. Manufacturers were asked to judge suppliers using five criteria: service, quality, price, delivery and innovation. In addition to being named the leading supplier in three categories, manufacturers ranked Visteon among the top five suppliers in the categories of Interior and Electronic Systems -- for a total of five "Quest for Excellence" awards. With a global delivery system of nearly 125 technical, manufacturing, sales and service facilities located in 21 countries, Visteon is leveraging the talents of its 77,000 employees to deliver innovative, consumer-driven systems solutions to its customers. ots Original Text Service: Visteon Automotive Systems Internet: http://www.newsaktuell.de Contact: Cheryl Eberwein of Visteon Automotive Systems Public Affairs, 313-248-6321 or email, ceberwei@visteon.com Web site: http://media.visteon.com Subscribers please note that material bearing the slug "PROTEXT" is not part of CTK's news service and is not to be published under the "CTK" slug.
