In their new roles, Salvatore and Scott will continue to report to chairman, CEO and president, Bob Rossiter.


“Over the past two years, we have made significant progress in streamlining our organisation, restructuring our operations and increasing our focus on our seating and electrical and electronic businesses to improve our long-term competitiveness,” said Rossiter.


“The next step to further strengthen and grow our company is to establish global organisations for these core businesses.
