Tenneco to Transfer Rubber Moulding Operations to Mexico

Automotive parts manufacturer Tenneco has reportedly announced it will relocate its rubber moulding division from its Milan, Ohio facility to Reynosa in Mexico. This transfer of operations will lead to approximately 65 job redundancies at the Milan plant. According to the company, the decision to move operations to Mexico is necessary to remain competitive in the domestic and global markets, due to ever increasing fuel, rubber and steel prices.
