THE PASSING OF JAMES KETELSON, RETIRED TENNECO CEO
May 10, 2017
Agri-Pulse reports:
James Ketelson, former chairman and CEO of Tenneco, died April 27 at the age of 86. Ketelson joined J.I. Case Co. about 1960 as assistant comptroller.
The Korean War vet was named president of Case in 1967 and began to reorganize the company into three operating divisions: agriculture, construction equipment and components.
In 1970, Houston-based Tenneco purchased Case and Ketelson became chief financial officer. He became president of Tenneco in 1978 and retired as chairman and CEO in 1992.
During his tenure, in 1985 Case bought International Harvester's agricultural equipment line and became Case IH.
