history

The company was founded in 1943 as the Tennessee division of the Cumberland Corporation , originally for the construction of a gas pipeline from Texas to West Virginia . The parent company Tenneco International Inc. was active in the natural gas, energy, packaging and shipbuilding sectors (see Newport News Shipbuilding ) as well as in the automotive supplier sector. Tenneco International was e.g. From 1967, for example, majority or full owner of the agricultural and construction machinery manufacturer Case Corporation , into which several other companies in the industry (including David Brown , International Harvester ) were incorporated. In 1991 the individual business areas became independent companies under the umbrella of the holding company (automotive supplier, shipbuilding, packaging industry, agricultural machinery, gas transport, chemical industry). As a result, the entire company was reorganized by 1997 and all other subsidiaries apart from the automotive supplier sector were sold or made independent. In 2005 the name was changed from "Tenneco Automotive" to "Tenneco Inc". On October 1, 2018, Tenneco took over the Federal-Mogul company completely.
