DPHIQ NEWS WARREN, Ohio, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Delphi Corporation's role as a preeminent global leader in electrical/electronic systems design and manufacturing was reaffirmed in 2005 by a multi-billion dollar performance in new business bookings. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020315/DEF002LOGO ) Delphi's Electrical/Electronic Distribution Systems (E/EDS) business line totaled more than USD $5.2 billion in new-business bookings last year, with details of individual contracts remaining confidential at the customers' request. Delphi compiled this new business with a diverse lineup of customers that included virtually every major vehicle manufacturer worldwide. The win list also includes Tier II customers and those in non-automotive markets, including multiple applications in the marine industry and commercial vehicle segments. Products range from full vehicle wiring systems to advanced electrical center technology, among others in Delphi Packard's electrical/electronic (E/E) systems portfolio. Douglas R. Gruber, Delphi Packard E/EDS business line executive, said the division's success in breaking the $5 billion mark in 2005 can be attributed to a number of factors, all of which are intrinsically linked to an enviable, long-running and far-reaching marketplace presence. "The year we had in 2005 illustrates how customers continue to place their trust in our extensive E/E systems capabilities, which have been honed and showcased repeatedly for well over a century," Gruber said. "Experience counts when it comes to turning so many of these opportunities into wins, especially when that experience is based on many decades of leadership in providing customized support in E/E systems architecture design and network management. "We have been able to strengthen these customer relationships, and in many cases begin new ones, because of the clear recognition manufacturers have for our ability to meet their complete E/E systems needs," Gruber said, "whether it's with differentiating systems optimization and development, or with component technology designed to offer value and performance advantages." Delphi Packard President James A. Spencer noted that Delphi Packard's expansive global presence has been a longtime advantage for customers seeking comprehensive localized E/E systems support. The "think global, act local" approach is evident, Spencer said, in the way Delphi Packard continues to implement cross-regional manufacturing and logistic processes to improve efficiencies in a manner that enhances customer- and site-specific support of OEMs, and with engineering support that's almost literally just next door. "Customers worldwide continue to place significant value in the benefits Delphi Packard provides through what we feel is an unrivaled level of support that's born from the combination of extensive localized assembly flexibility and dedicated in-region engineering and design resources," Spencer said. "We are very encouraged that their confidence in our capabilities continues to grow." With a robust and ever-expanding E/EDS product portfolio and a strong penchant for managing growing vehicle complexity, Delphi Packard is well positioned to meet the changing needs in vehicle systems design and overall architecture development, Gruber noted, as automakers are increasingly looking to full-service suppliers capable of quickening the pace of differentiating technology implementation, and ultimately help bring greater value to their customers.
