BELLEVILLE, Ontario,
Sept. 17, 2014 /CNW/ -- An
affiliate of Halla Visteon Climate Control Corp. (KS: 018880) is
celebrating a quarter century producing climate control products in
the automotive sector.
Halla Visteon Climate Control Canada Inc., located in
Belleville, Ontario, currently has
approximately 500 employees and produces automotive heating,
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units, underbody and
underhood fluid transport lines, and accumulators for various
vehicle manufacturers. Employees marked the 25-year anniversary by
hoisting a commemorative flag at the facility and organizing an
outdoor celebration with family members.
Established in 1989, the company, then known as Halla Climate
Control Canada Inc., was the first operation outside of Korea. The
operation grew in size and scope, and in 1997, a second facility
was purchased within a 2-kilometer radius. Today, these two
facilities span 19,000 square meters of manufacturing space.
Current HVCC President and CEO YH Park served as managing
director of the Canada operations
for nine years from 1995-2004.
"This is an important milestone for HVCC, and I had the honor of
seeing this operation develop and grow over the past 25 years,"
Park said. "Notably, one thing that has not changed since 1989 is
the passion and dedication of our team members, and the ongoing
support of the local community as we work to deliver high-quality
products and solid customer service."
