Visteon

In 2025, Visteon reported net sales of US$3.768 billion and recorded 86 product launches during the year, along with approximately US$7.4 billion in new business awards.^[3] The company operates in 17 countries worldwide.^[4]

Visteon was originally organized around three primary divisions: climate, electronics, and interior systems. In 2015 and 2016, the company divested its climate and interiors businesses and consolidated its operations around automotive electronics.

Today, Visteon’s core business centers on cockpit and vehicle electronics. Its primary product lines include digital instrument clusters, infotainment systems, and integrated digital cockpit platforms, along with automotive display technologies. The company also develops high-performance domain controllers that consolidate multiple cockpit functions onto centralized computing architectures.

In electrification, Visteon designs and supplies battery management systems and related power electronics components for electric and hybrid vehicles.

More recently, the company has expanded its focus on software capabilities and artificial intelligence applications within cockpit electronics and vehicle compute platforms.

In 2015, Visteon introduced Sachin Lawande as the new president and CEO.

Visteon's global headquarters is located in Van Buren Township, Michigan. The company also has additional facilities in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Tunisia, India, China, Thailand, Korea and Japan.

On September 13, 2005, Visteon and Ford reached an agreement whereby seventeen of the less-profitable Visteon plants and six offices would be transferred to an independent business entity called Automotive Components Holdings LLC. This action, intended to assure the long-term viability of Visteon, involved the transfer of 18,000 hourly workers and 5000 salaried workers to the new entity, reducing Visteon to approximately 52,000 employees worldwide and $11 billion in annual sales. Three of the plants are in Mexico, the remaining plants and six offices are in the US. Automotive Components Holdings (ACH), managed by Ford, was referred to as a "temporary entity", as its purpose was to prepare the plants and facilities for sale. By the end of 2007, all ACH operations had been closed, scheduled for closure, merged at least partially, or sold (two back to Ford), with transactions to be completed by the end of 2008 except for one plant which is to remain an ACH facility until its closure in 2009.^[5]

On March 31, 2009, Visteon's UK subsidiary was deemed insolvent, and placed into administration.^[6] The UK subsidiary had never been profitable, and the insolvency was the result of the US parent company being unwilling to continue to support the British operation. The administrators, KPMG, immediately moved to close all three Visteon UK factories and made 565 workers redundant. Visteon's profitable UK subsidiary Visteon Engineering Services (VES) remained unaffected by the restructuring.

As a result, workers occupied the plants in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and Enfield, London, and picketed the plant in Basildon, Essex, to gain better redundancy packages.^[7]
