Buoyed by an overwhelming response to its emission and ride control products from auto OEMs in India, the $4.6-billion Tenneco has set up one more facility near Chennai. This is the seventh Tenneco facility in India to meet the growing demand from auto majors, including CVs, cars and two-wheelers and particularly to cater to the OEMs located in the south, said Tenneco chairman & CEO Gregg Sherill.
