Growing Globally

Tenneco is well-positioned to grow globally. Tenneco is capturing opportunities in rapidly expand - ing markets like China, India, Russia and Brazil.

Tenneco is the #1 exhaust supplier in China , where we entered the market in 1995. In 2006, we opened our first wholly-owned Tenneco facility in Suzhou, China – improving our global position for elastomer operations. We then opened the Shanghai Tenneco Research and Development Center in mid 2007.

Our growing operations in Central and Eastern Europe include plants in Poland, Czech Republic and Russia (where Tenneco opened its second emission control Tenneco develops facility — St. Petersburg in 2007). These efficient, the right emission cost-effective facilities handle an increasing number Tenneco's majority-owned joint venture control technologies of our new vehicle launches in Europe as our manufacturing operations in Shanghai, to meet tightening customers shift more of their operations eastward. China, serve domestic and global environmental original equipment manufacturers. regulations worldwide.

Strategies Aligned for Growth Tenneco’s three main strategic imperatives make up the backbone of who we are. First, we invest in growing markets with proprietary technologies through our Tenneco Facilities six key strategic growth areas: in BRIC Markets • Emission control technologies to meet tightening environmental mandates. • Advanced technology for ride control performance and safety. • Adjacent markets for new revenue opportunities. • BRIC markets for rapid growth. • Expanding business with growth OEMs, enhancing our customer mix. • Aftermarket service products to drive incremental sales.

In addition, we continuously advance our operational excellence. Through low cost country (LCC) strategies and improving on our Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma processes, we can better optimize our global footprint. Finally, we are committed to improving our financial strength by lowering our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and capitalizing on our EVA (economic value added) discipline.

In short, Tenneco has the right technologies, at the right time and in the right places — making the world cleaner, quieter, smoother and safer.
