Tennant Technology Honored by Healthcare Group

Minneapolis, MN, June 26, 2009--Tennant Co. said it was recently selected to participate in the Premier healthcare alliance’s first Innovation Celebration, an annual event to recognize advances in healthcare while highlighting healthcare industry suppliers.

The inaugural event showcased 26 products from 24 of Premier’s 800 contracted suppliers. The showcased products, which included Tennant Company’s ec-H2O technology, were selected by a team of Premier alliance members and staff, including clinical product planners, clinical field specialists, pharmacists, supply chain professionals, materials management experts, and nurses.

“We are proud to have been recognized by the Premier healthcare alliance for our innovative ec-H2O technology, which is helping keep patients’ and healthcare workers’ facilities clean and safe by eliminating the need for cleaning chemicals," said Jeffery Buysse, director of Channel Development for Tennant Company.

Tennant's technology, developed by Tennant researchers and engineers and named by R&D Magazine as one of the most technologically significant developments in 2008, helps to meet the ever-growing need for sustainable cleaning.

The technology starts with water and ends with water, so it can be handled and disposed of easily and safely. It leaves behind no slippery detergent residue on the floor, and releases no used detergent discharge into water systems.
