Dear Supplier,

Welcome to the Tenneco European Supplier Communication Web site.

We are pleased to present our electronic Supplier information manual. This section is part of our Tenneco Global Supplier information manual and should be used in conjunction with all other relevant sections. This electronic edition is designed in a format to ensure that all our current and potential new suppliers have full access to up-to-date Supplier informa tion and requirements, on a global basis. We encourage suppliers to ensure all appropriate personnel in their organisation have access to our web site as needed.

These policies and procedures supersede and replace similar information previously issued in hard copy by Tenneco Europe. Successful partnerships are based on openness, trust and information sharing.

Within this manual we have defined the guidelines for doing business with Tenneco.

We believe this manual will be a valuable asset in supporting our mutual efforts in establishing effective Supplier partnerships, in a professional, efficient and profitable manner.

 It is mandatory that all Suppliers conform in full to the requirements of the manual

Your comments and suggestions regarding our Supplier communications on the Web site are welcome.

 ir. José Butaye
