August 11, 2016 – Tenneco today announced plans to open a new Clean Air manufacturing plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, to support programs for General Motors.

The 117,000-square foot facility, located near GM’s Spring Hill assembly plant, is scheduled to begin production in late 2016 and becomes Tenneco’s second facility in the state, joining the company’s Clean Air plant in Smithville, which employs 650 people.

“We’re very excited to continue providing exceptional products and service to GM from our newest facility in North America,” said Mike Seurynck, Tenneco vice president and general manager North America Clean Air. “We are equally excited to help bring new jobs to the state of Tennessee and thank both the state and the city of Spring Hill for their support.”

The new facility will employ approximately 20 people when it opens, but will gradually grow to employ approximately 175 by 2019.

Currently, Tenneco is searching for qualified candidates to fill positions including Area Manager, Materials Manager, Quality Engineer and Welding Engineer as well as qualified welders and team leaders.  Interested candidates can apply at www.tenneco.com or applications are being accepted at Office 1 Time, 2547 Nashville Highway, Columbia, TN 38401.  For more information, candidates may also contact Jacelle Stevens at jstevens@tenneco.com.
