"We saw a very real need for a trusted, well-established source of
OE-quality components in today's automotive service market," said Greg
Gyllstrom, vice president and general manager of the Visteon North America and
Asia-Pacific Aftermarket organization. "Distributors and installers can now
eliminate the hassles and extra costs associated with product returns and
warranty claims by specifying one brand - Visteon."
As automotive design leads to lower hoodlines, smaller engine
compartments, and increased vehicle operating temperatures, it's becoming more
important for distributors and installers to rely on OE quality manufacturers
for replacement parts to maintain vehicle performance. The Visteon
Aftermarket commitment recognizes the need to combine OE technology,
aggressive brand support, pull through marketing programs and cataloging
excellence to meet the needs of aftermarket distributors and their customers.
The Visteon aftermarket product portfolio includes rotating electric
components such as 100% new and premium remanufactured starters and
alternators and a complete line of climate products. Visteon's leadership in
the highly competitive climate control marketplace is built on providing a
comprehensive offering of OE-quality radiators, condensers, compressors,
driers and accumulators, evaporators, hoses and fittings, blower motors,
heater cores, and air conditioning service parts.
"As a leader on both the OE and aftermarket levels, we understand the
interrelationships between vehicle design and technology trends and the
performance of individual components and systems," he said. "While some
non-OE radiators or condensers might fit a given application, the technician
and, ultimately, the consumer could end up facing the consequences of
inadequate cooling efficiency. That's not an acceptable solution for anyone
involved in the transaction, including the distributor."
In addition to climate control and rotating electric components, Visteon's
aftermarket portfolio includes Carlite(R) replacement auto glass,
GlideMaster(TM) windows, and a broad range of mobile electronic systems.
Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier that delivers
consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide and
through multiple channels within the global automotive aftermarket. Visteon
has about 75,000 employees and a global delivery system of more than 180
technical, manufacturing, and service facilities located in 25 countries.
