The automotive division was spun off from Tenneco Inc. in 1991 along with the packaging, energy, natural gas, and shipbuilding divisions. 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.

On 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.
