Complete the supplier diversity profile with your company’s information. Please be as specific as possible to ensure proper categorization of your firm within our supply-chain organization. Upon completion of the profile, please e-mail it to SupplierDiversity@Tenneco.com with a copy of your current Diversity Certification and Quality Certification (if applicable).
Upon receipt, a member of the supplier diversity team will register your company in our diverse supplier directory. Please note: Registering does not mean that your company is an approved or preferred supplier or that your company will automatically be placed on a “Bid List,” or that your company will receive an “Request for Quote.”
