    FLINT, Mich., May 11 -- Delphi Automotive Systems
is investing $14 million in its ASEC Manufacturing facility located in Port of
Catoosa, Okla., according to Donald L. Runkle, president of Delphi Energy &

upgrade its manufacturing processes.  "This investment will allow us to expand
our offices and laboratories for our new technical staff," said Guy S. Jones,

emissions standards are becoming more stringent, investing in our people and
manufacturing processes will enable Delphi and ASEC to remain a leader in the
production of catalysts for vehicle manufacturers worldwide."  Currently, ASEC
holds 22 percent of market share in the production of catalysts.  ASEC's Port
of Catoosa operations, located near Tulsa, Okla., is a major supplier of
catalysts to General Motors, and supplies catalysts to Japan, China, Mexico

motorcycle applications.  Headquartered in the Port of Catoosa, ASEC also has
