    DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 22 -- Visteon Automotive Systems
continues to build its aftermarket organization by appointing William G. Klehm
III president of Visteon Climate Control Systems Limited (formerly ARS, Inc.).
    Klehm most recently served as programs development manager for Visteon
Global Aftermarket Operations.  He joined Ford in 1985 and held a variety of
posts with the Ford Customer Service Division, including several marketing
staff positions, office operations manager of the Detroit Region and parts and
service zone manager for the New Orleans market.
    Visteon acquired the Buffalo, NY-based ARS, Inc. in December 1998.  The
company assembles and distributes radiators, heater cores, condensers and
other aftermarket climate control equipment for a wide range of vehicle makes
and models.
    "The integration of ARS into the Visteon Climate Control program is a
critical component in our overall aftermarket growth strategy," said David
Peace, director of Visteon Global Aftermarket Operations.  "Bill has
tremendous experience in crafting integrated marketing and product programs
that will help drive our customer's business."
    "Visteon Climate Control Systems Limited provides us with a substantial
foundation to build a climate control aftermarket business," Klehm said.  "We
plan to build our customer base and provide replacement radiators, condensors
and heater parts for virtually all vehicle makes and models in North America."
    Born in 1962, Klehm earned his bachelor's degree in marketing and
management in 1984 from Northwood University in Midland, Mich.
