Tata Communications, a leading global digital infrastructure provider, was recognized as a top supplier to Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ: VC), a global leader in automotive cockpit electronics, at Visteon’s Strategic Supplier Conference on Oct. 16 in Dearborn, Michigan. Tata Communications was named Best Indirect Supplier during an awards ceremony at The Henry Ford Museum, attended by more than 135 representatives from 65 global Visteon strategic suppliers, as well as senior leaders from Visteon.

With a next-generation hybrid network and Tata Communications IZO™ SDWAN, Visteon has been able to become more agile without compromising security.

Similarly, by using Tata Communications’ globally managed UC platform, our design, engineering and manufacturing teams can collaborate more effectively and efficiently to achieve our strategic objectives.”

A new award for 2019, Best Indirect Supplier, recognized a supplier providing services not directly related to the design or production of Visteon products, but nonetheless critical to Visteon’s success.

“Our suppliers are critical to the success of Visteon as a technology-focused leader in cockpit electronics, especially as the cockpit becomes more digital and the industry transitions to electric and automated vehicles,” said Visteon President and CEO Sachin Lawande“Each of the suppliers recognized by Visteon has contributed significantly to our ability to develop and deliver innovative, high-quality solutions for global automakers – quickly and at competitive costs.”
