Tenneco manufactures clean air and ride performance products for cars, trucks, and commercial and agricultural vehicles for customers in more than 100 countries.

“Our manufacturing facilities produce high-quality products and systems using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and advanced optimisation tools,” said Dan Wolfe, Lean Six Sigma master black belt and master black belt manager for North America at Tenneco. “Tenneco employs Six Sigma and Lean extensively to assure consistent levels of quality for our customers and to improve effi ciency across all of our facilities.”
