Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in designing, manufacturing
and marketing solutions that help create a cleaner, safer world, today
announced that its breakthrough ec-H2O™ technology has won the
Innovation Award at New Zealand’s industry trade show “CleanNZ.” ec-H2O
converts plain tap water into a powerful cleaning agent without any
added chemicals.
CleanNZ is the industry tradeshow for cleaning equipment, supplies and
property support services held in New Zealand bi-annually. Every second
year a number of brands compete for the CleanNZ Innovation Award. To be
eligible for the award, a detailed application must be submitted to a
panel of judges prior to the show.
Tennant has won three out of the past four Innovation Awards with
previous awards won for FaST™, the M20 and now ec-H2O.
“For Tennant’s New Zealand Distributor, Kleentech (a part of the
Southern Hospitality Limited), it is a big win to gain their own local
endorsement of the product from the cleaning industry itself. The
product fits well with New Zealand’s outlook and culture of
sustainability,” comments Tennant’s Distributor Manager Allan Napier.
Tennant’s ec-H2O™ Chemical-Free Cleaning Technology won the award
due to its uniqueness in the industry and focus on environmental
sustainability. Southern Hospitality’s Managing Director Roger Frewtell;
Board member Brian Wheeler; Tennant’s Managing Director – Asia Pacific
Mauro Compagnoni; as well as Kleentech Sales Manager Paul Braid, along
with key sales staff, were there in support.
“ec-H2O just keeps gaining recognition around the world for what is a
brilliant and environmentally preferable technology for the cleaning
industry. We are so pleased to be promoting innovative products that can
improve our customers’ bottom line as well as reduce their environmental
impact”, stated Tennant’s Marketing Manager (Australia) Elissa Dowler.
The innovative technology that electrically converts water to perform
like a powerful detergent offers customers the possibility to benefit
from a sustainable cleaning solution while guaranteeing excellent
performance and large efficiency increases. For more information about
