Delphi Invests $600,000 in Equipment for Rochester Plant

    FLINT, Mich., May 13 -- Delphi Automotive Systems
is investing $600,000 in its Rochester, N.Y., facility, according to Donald L.
Runkle, president of Delphi Energy & Engine Management Systems.
    Delphi will invest $600,000 for the first phase of a pilot line for linear
exhaust gas recirculation valves for diesel and gas engines.  The funds will
be used to purchase production tooling and equipment to implement a low-volume
production manufacturing process for the product prior to implementation of a
high-volume production process.
    "This investment in our equipment will allow us to better grow the
business and improve our competitiveness," Runkle said.  "It is essential that
we continue to dedicate capital to projects that will give Delphi Energy a
technological edge heading into the next century.  Investing in upgrading our
equipment and processes will accomplish this."
