Tenneco Inc. made a change in its executive team. Josep Fornos, executive vice president, Ride Performance, assumed the position of executive vice president, Clean Air. He replaces Neal Yanos who is leaving Tenneco.
The change is effective immediately. A replacement to lead the Ride Performance division has not yet been named. In the interim, the Ride Performance businesses will report directly to Hari Nair, Tenneco’s chief operating officer.
In his new role, Fornos will lead Tenneco’s Clean Air business as it continues to build on its success in the light vehicle and commercial truck and off-highway markets while also focusing on a broad range of large engine regulatory-driven opportunities.
In early 2013, Tenneco organized its businesses along product lines to support the company’s plans for revenue and earnings growth and its longer-term strategic vision. Since then, the changes are driving greater integration across regions, and progress on specific strategies designed to create growth and profit improvement opportunities unique to the Clean Air and Ride Performance businesses.
Tenneco is an $8 billion global manufacturing company with headquarters in Lake Forest, Ill., and approximately 26,000 employees worldwide. Tenneco is one of the world’s largest designers, manufacturers and marketers of clean air and ride performance products and systems for automotive, commercial truck and off-highway original equipment markets and the aftermarket. Tenneco’s principal brand names are Monroe®, Walker®, XNOx™ and Clevite®Elastomer.
