Present in Tunisia since 2005, Visteon, the global leader in automotive electronics, is taking a new step forward in its local development. By expanding its operations, the U.S. supplier is reaffirming its ambition to make its Tunisian platform a cornerstone of its global innovation strategy.

The Tunisian automotive industry continues to demonstrate its dynamism. The American company Visteon has officially announced its intention to increase its investments in Tunisia. This expansion project, which is expected to create numerous new jobs, was the focus of a high-level meeting held this Tuesday in Tunis.
A renewed strategic partnership

The Visteon delegation, led by Executive Vice President João Paulo Ribeiro, was received by Mr. Salah Zouari, Minister of Public Works and Housing and Acting Minister of Industry, Mines, and Energy.

For Visteon’s top management, choosing Tunisia for this expansion is a strategic no-brainer. “This decision is part of our commitment to strengthening our local presence while continuing to develop smart and innovative solutions for the global automotive industry,” emphasized Mr. Ribeiro. The goal is clear: to meet the growing international demand for high-tech electronic components.
Tunisia, a land of talent and expertise

Established in Tunisia for nearly two decades, Visteon already employs 560 people there. What sets the Tunisian operation apart is the high level of qualification of its workforce: nearly 40% of the staff consists of managers and engineers, demonstrating the country’s ability to support high-value-added activities.
