Approximately 30 percent of Tenneco’s global annual shock absorber production is original equipment (OE) parts for Japanese and Korean cars.

Tenneco also supplies OE emission control systems and components on 4.8 million Japanese and Korean cars.*

Tenneco’s global engineering and manufacturing presence enables close collaboration with Asian car manufacturers in all markets. Tenneco supplies Japanese and Korean OEMs from 15 manufacturing facilities in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, India, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Thailand and the United States of America.

The company recently expanded its technical centre in Japan to support Japanese OEMs with advanced engineering and testing capabilities in both light vehicle emission control and suspension, in addition to ride tuning capabilities. Ride engineers at Tenneco Japan collaborate with OE vehicle dynamics engineers to create suspension systems optimized for each brand and model’s ride, handling and comfort characteristics.

Tenneco OE and aftermarket products are largely designed, engineered, manufactured and tested in the same facilities using the same best practices, processes and talented resources and in line with the performance, durability, quality and advanced technology requirements of international car manufacturers.
