Company overview
Tennant builds commercial and industrial cleaning machines that span walk-behind and ride-on floor scrubbers, sweepers, extractors, vacuums, and specialty tools. Recent innovations include autonomous robotic scrubbers (like the T16AMR and X6 ROVR) and the Z50 Citadel, a rugged outdoor sweeper for municipalities and industrial environments. Tennant pairs its machines with proprietary cleaning technologies like ec-H2O NanoClean and ReadySpace, and supports facilities across logistics, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing.
The company’s hybrid recurring sales model combines capital equipment sales with recurring revenue streams. Customers typically purchase machines outright, then layer on service plans, parts and consumables, and digital tools like IRIS Asset Manager for fleet visibility and performance analytics. Robotic systems can be enhanced with subscription features like Inventory Scan, enabling data capture and operational insights. Rental and leasing options are also available for flexible deployment.
