Jeehan Fernandez – AHN News Writer

Van Buren Township, MI, United States (AHN) – Visteon Corp., a leading global automotive supplier said it has finished its reorganization and exited the U.S. Chapter 11 process.

The company completed all conditions of its plan of reorganization which was confirmed by U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Aug. 31 after overwhelming approval by all creditor and shareholder classes.

Visteon emerged with a stronger balance sheet and about $2.1 billion less consolidated debt than when the company and its certain affiliates voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. on May 28, 2009.

The firm improved its capital and cost structure significantly by reducing consolidated debt from some $2.7 billion at the time of filing to about $600 million now – a level that allows Visteon to be “very competitive” in Tier 1 automotive supplier industry.

“This marks a new beginning for Visteon, an opportunity to truly capitalize on many operational and financial improvements achieved before and during the reorganization process,” said Donald J. Stebbins, chairman, CEO and president.

“I am extremely grateful to our customers, suppliers, secured lenders, bondholders and many others for their support throughout this difficult process,” he added.

The new Visteon is focused on four strong product lines – climate, electronics, interiors and lighting with outstanding global manufacturing and engineering footprint with particular strength in fast-growing markets in Asia, Eastern Europe and Brazil.

“We have an experienced and talented employee base, complemented by strong joint venture partners and strategic alliances that provide a competitive advantage in key automotive markets of the world,” said Stebbins.

Visteon Corp. designs, engineers and manufactures innovative climate, electronic, interior and lighting products for vehicle manufacturers. The company has facilities in 26 countries and employs some 26,000 people. It has corporate offices in Van Buren Township, Mich., U.S.; Shanghai, China; and Chelmsford, UK.
