Exhibit 99.1

VIASYSTEMS ANNOUNCES THE RECEIPT OF REQUISITE CONSENTS IN CONSENT SOLICITATION FOR 7.875% SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2019

ST. LOUIS – April 9, 2014 - Viasystems Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAS) (the “Company” or “Viasystems”) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Viasystems, Inc. has received the Requisite Consents (as defined below) from holders of its outstanding 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) to execute the supplemental indenture for the Notes containing the proposed amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”).

The Proposed Amendment permits Viasystems, Inc. to complete the sale of not more than $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new indebtedness (the “Proposed Financing”) in the form of senior secured notes of Viasystems, Inc. having terms substantially identical to the terms of the Notes (the “Additional Notes”).

Adoption of the Proposed Amendment required the consent of holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes voting as a single class (the “Requisite Consents”). The Company informed the trustee today that consents had been delivered, and not revoked, with respect to approximately 99.64% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The receipt of the Requisite Consents makes all consents that have been validly delivered prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) irrevocable.

While the Proposed Amendment will become effective immediately upon the execution of a supplemental indenture, the Proposed Amendment will not become operative unless and until (a) the Proposed Financing has closed and (b) the Company pays the consent fee (the “Consent Fee”) pursuant to the consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”). Viasystems, Inc. intends to execute the supplemental indenture promptly.

The Consent Solicitation expired today, Wednesday, April 9, 2014, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time (such date and time, the “Expiration Date”). The Consent Fee for the Notes is $2.50 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for which consents are validly delivered (and not revoked). Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described above, the Consent Fee will be paid promptly following the completion of the Proposed Financing.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Additional Notes and does not set forth all the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation. Holders of the Notes should carefully read the consent solicitation statement, dated April 1, 2014 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), for a complete description of all terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation. The Company did not make any recommendation as to whether any holder of the Notes should consent to the Proposed Amendment. Additional information concerning the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation may be obtained from the solicitation agents, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, at (866) 309-6316 (toll free) or

Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, at (855) 300-7142 (toll free). Copies of the consent documents may be obtained from the Information and Tabulation Agent, D.F. King & Co., Inc., at (800) 290-6427 (toll free).

Viasystems, Inc. is not soliciting consents in any jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to make such solicitation under any applicable state, federal or other securities laws.

The Additional Notes offered in the Proposed Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. As a result, the additional notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any other applicable law.
