The village currently has nine buildings and a central building called Village Center that overlooks a 37-acre lake. Company officials say the village will allow the company to consolidate employees and services from 13 Southeast Michigan facilities, providing the company with a cost savings and enhanced product innovation. The initial move will bring 3,200 employees to the village, officials say.

Officials say the nine Village buildings will house business groups, product line teams, innovation and advanced business development, global program management, aftermarket, information technology, corporate relations, finance, marketing, testing, a design center and labs. The new corporate offices also include six dedicated customer innovation centers, as well as three product innovation centers.

Amenities on the Village's Main Street will include a convenience store, a salon, a restaurant, a bank and a fitness center, which is scheduled to open in the spring of 2005. The site also features a nature trail through the wooded wetlands, which will be available for both employees and the community. Visteon also planted 5,000 trees throughout the campus.

"Visteon is bringing its people together in an open environment that is geared toward achieving greater efficiencies and added value for our customers," says Mike Johnston, Visteon president and chief executive officer. "Visteon Village will help us expand and evolve that initiative."

Visteon Corp. is a full-service supplier that delivers technology solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide. Visteon has approximately 72,000 employees and more than 200 technical, manufacturing, sales and service facilities located in 25 countries.
