Magnolia Award was created in 1989 to honor foreign citizens who
have aided Shanghai in its development. It is named for the early
blooming white magnolia, whose "eye always looks toward the sky,"
and has symbolized Shanghai's pioneering and enterprising spirit
since being named the official flower in 1986. It is the highest
honor a foreigner can receive in Shanghai. Meszaros was honored as
one of 34 recipients of the Silver Magnolia Award for his
contributions to the growth of the automotive industry in Shanghai.
He was nominated by Yanfeng Visteon's joint venture (JV) partner
Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. (SAIC). "Since the establishment
of Yanfeng Visteon, Visteon has consistently supported the
development of the JV while paying high respect to China's culture
and people," said Chen Xianglin, chairman, SAIC. "The unparalleled
professionalism and working attitude of Visteon's expatriates have
been highly respected by their Chinese colleagues. We are proud of
cooperating with such an outstanding partner." Meszaros joined Ford
Motor Co. in 1986 as an advanced manufacturing engineer at the
Sandusky Plant in Ohio, USA. After four years, he moved to
Dearborn, Michigan, USA, where he held a variety of positions in
business development and product engineering in the area of
plastics and trim parts. He then served as area manager in Ford's
Trim Operations in Utica, Michigan, USA. In 1996, he relocated to
Europe to work as a vehicle line manager, where he was responsible
for launching the Ford Focus program. Subsequently, he directed
Visteon's Interior systems business in the U.K. and Germany. His
experience in Interiors was instrumental in his relocation to China
in 2001 to serve as general manager of Yanfeng Visteon, where he
has led the rapid development of the company's capability to
design, manufacture and deliver complete vehicle interiors for the
growing Chinese market. In 2002, Yanfeng Visteon received the
"Golden Quality Award" from the Shanghai Government for achieving
the number one ranking among all nominated enterprises for
excellence in product and process quality. Meszaros holds a
bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts
