Tenneco Automotive is realigning its North American original equipment business
around its two major product areas; ride control and emission control systems.
The company also announced that it is consolidating its programme management resources
to original equipment manufacturers under a single global team.
As part of this reorganisation, the company appointed John Kitts to the new
position of vice president and general manager, North American original equipment
emission control; Neal Yanos to the new position of vice president and general
manager, North American original equipment ride control; and Lois Boyd to the
new position of vice president, global original equipment programme management.
Said Mark P. Frissora, chairman and CEO, Tenneco Automotive,: We implemented
the same structure in our European original equipment operations over a year
ago and it is helping to improve the business unit’s performance.
“This new structure will allow us to provide a cohesive worldwide approach
to addressing our customers’ increasingly global requirements, and lead to enhanced
technical focus and a more concentrated use of resources."
