Second Tenneco factory will produce shock absorbers in Gliwice/KSSE

U.S.-based Tenneco Automotive plans to construct its second factory in Gliwice in the Katowice Special Economic Zone (KSSE). The plant will produce Monroe shock absorbers. Although the company's representatives declined to confirm the plans, KSSE's president Piotr Wojaczek did not explicitly deny them. Tenneco's original Polish plant in Rybnik manufactures mufflers. According to Rybnik manager Henryk Michalik, approximately 70% of the mufflers produced in Rybnik are destined for the spare parts market, with the rest intended for such car manufacturers as Mercedes and Opel.
