The South America, India and Asia Pacific regions will align strategically with the Clean Air and Ride Performance divisions and report operationally to Nair. “Today's announcement brings even greater focus on our product lines as we continue to execute distinct strategies for each business and drive profitable growth,” said Gregg Sherrill, chairman and CEO, Tenneco. “In Clean Air, Tenneco is well-positioned to build on our current light and commercial vehicle success and increase our focus on a broad range of regulatory-driven opportunities in other industries. I am equally excited about Ride Performance as we take a strategic approach that will unleash new opportunities by leveraging product cost and functionality leadership, commercializing advanced technologies and continuing to build on our leading aftermarket positions with our powerful brands.” In line with the organizational changes announced today, the company's financial reporting segments will change as noted in the attachments.
