Tenneco is a multi-national corporation with 80 manufacturing facilities in 24 countries located on 6 continents, with major centers of operations in North America and Europe. There were 19,000 employees in 2005. Many of the North American manufacturing facilities are located in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio; the corporate headquarters is located in Lake Forest, Illinois.

Tenneco, Inc. was founded as the Tennessee division of the Chicago Corporation in 1943 to build a natural-gas pipeline from Texas to West Virginia. The automotive division was spun off from Tenneco Inc. in 1991 along with the packaging, energy, natural gas, and shipbuilding divisions.

In October 28, 2005 the name was changed from Tenneco Automotive to simply Tenneco in order to reflect the changes in markets that the company is hoping to expand into. These areas include heavy trucks and two-wheel (motorcycle) exhaust and suspension systems.

Tenneco (under the Tenneco Automotive name) sponsored CART's Detroit Grand Prix from 1999 until the race's cancellation after 2001.
