Tennant Company
"Revolutionizing How the World Cleans"
US manufacturer of commercial floor-cleaning machines; launched T7AMR and T380AMR autonomous robotic scrubbers powered by BrainOS since 2018.
Tennant Company is a Minneapolis-area manufacturer of industrial and commercial floor-cleaning equipment, founded in 1870 by George H. Tennant and headquartered at 10400 Clean Street, Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Tennant designs, manufactures, and markets scrubbers, sweepers, and coatings for a wide range of industries including retail, healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing. The company operates globally and reported annual revenues of approximately $1.3 billion in 2025, with products sold in more than 100 countries. Tennant entered autonomous robotics in 2018 with the T7AMR, a ride-on floor scrubber that navigates large open spaces autonomously using BrainOS, an AI-based robotics platform developed by Brain Corporation.
In 2020, Tennant added the T380AMR, a more compact autonomous scrubber with a 20-inch or 26-inch scrubbing path, designed for facilities with tight corridors, narrow aisles, and smaller footprints such as hospitals, schools, and retail stores. Both AMR models use onboard cameras and the BrainOS platform to detect obstacles, adapt to dynamic environments, and log cleaning data through the IRIS asset management system. The T380AMR supports both lithium-ion and flooded lead-acid battery options, with lithium-ion introduced in 2022, extending runtime and reducing maintenance.
Tennant's autonomous products are positioned in the service robot and mobile robot category, complementing the company's extensive manual and semi-automatic lineup. Tennant trades on the NYSE under ticker TNC and has manufacturing facilities in the US, Europe, and China. Its broader portfolio includes ec-H2O NanoClean, a detergent-free cleaning technology, and ReadySpace carpet cleaning. The company's partnership with Brain Corp is central to its AMR roadmap, with regular software updates delivered over-the-air to deployed machines.
