DAEJEON, Korea, Oct. 15, 2014
/PRNewswire/ -- Halla Visteon Climate Control Corp. (KS: 018880), a
full-line supplier of automotive thermal energy management
solutions, received the "2014 Company with Excellent
Competitiveness for Climate Change" certification at an event in
Seoul on Sept. 30.
The event was jointly hosted by the Korean Ministry of Trade,
Industry and Energy; Korea Energy Management Corp.; and the Korea
Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
This annual certification is granted to Korean companies with
outstanding handling of climate change, and demonstration of
eco-friendly efforts in its operations and product offering.
HVCC also received the "2014 Best Worksite" in the automobile
sector for its Pyeongtaek compressor plant in Korea. The company's
Daejeon plant received the "Best Worksite" honor in 2012.
In 2008, HVCC first introduced its management system for
"greenhouse gas inventory," which monitors energy consumption in
its operations and enables HVCC to find energy-saving
opportunities. At the Pyeongtaek plant, this system was used to
estimate the amount of carbon discharge generated from the facility
and, as a result, greenhouse gases were reduced 26 percent from
previous levels.
The Pyeongtaek plant also instituted a patented process that
provides a uniform coating thickness to the compressor piston.
Compared with conventional spray methods of coating, this process
eliminates air pollutants from coating mist, requiring no special
ventilation; eliminates waste in time and materials with better
coating quality and condition; and improves manufacturing
efficiency. This process received finalist recognition for the
prestigious Automotive News PACE Award in the manufacturing process
category in 2013.
HVCC President and CEO YH Park noted, "Halla Visteon Climate
Control will continue to actively seek ways to address climate
change through the development of eco-friendly thermal energy
management solutions and maintain a focus on environmental
protection in our operations."
