The Sint-Truiden Manufacturing Facility
state-of-the-art Tenneco facility produces conventional single and
double tube shock absorbers in
addition to part of the Monroe®
Intelligent Suspension electronic shock portfolio, cabin dampers, coil and air suspension,
sintered metal and stamping parts and complete valving components. The facility supplies
both original equipment manufacturers and
the replacement market for Europe, South Africa, North America, South America, Australia
and Asia.
The key processes are tubing, rods (machining, hardening, grinding, chroming, polishing, welding), base assembly welding,
water-based electrostatic painting, modular
assembly and Aftermarket packaging.
Two technologies from the Monroe® Intelligent Suspension portfolio are industrialized in
clean room environments in Sint-Truiden. These include Dual Mode adaptive suspension
technology that offers compact car drivers a
default comfort drive or a more sporty ride
at the touch of a button. Dual Mode features
a simple control unit to electronically switch
between soft and firm damping levels. Dual
Mode is assembled in Sint-Truiden for the Ford
Focus RS using state-of-the-art manufacturing
techniques including laser welding for valving
pre-load and piston rod assembly, and inline
testing including electrical switching.
