Innovative Cleaning Equipment and
Technologies Support Shared Commitment to Sustainability
Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in designing,
manufacturing and marketing of solutions that help create a
cleaner, safer, healthier world, has been named the strategic
cleaning partner for the Minnesota Twins. As a leading innovator of
sustainable cleaning solutions, the partnership further enhances
the Minnesota Twins’ public commitment to water conservation and
environmental sustainability.
More than a dozen Tennant cleaning machines will now be used to
help keep the 39,021-seat open-air ballpark cleaner, safer and
healthier for employees and fans. Tennant equipment will help the
Minnesota Twins reduce their total cost to clean, maintain
environmental health and safety, enhance the facility’s image and
support their commitment to sustainability. Tennant provides
cleaning equipment designed to handle the large-scale needs of the
sporting events at Target Field.
“Tennant Company is a local and global business leader and we
are pleased to announce our partnership. The cleaning needs of
Target Field are very specialized and we have worked closely with
Tennant to identify the best solutions, with a focus on efficiency,
cost effectiveness and sustainability,” said Dave St. Peter,
President, Minnesota Twins. “This expanded partnership is
beneficial as our mutual goal is to provide clean, healthy and
aesthetically pleasing environments for our employees and fans
visiting Target Field. And, as one of only two LEED-certified
professional sports stadiums in the United States, Target Field and
the Tennant portfolio of innovative, differentiated, sustainable
offerings are a perfect fit.”
Less than two years after being named the Greenest Ballpark in
America and earning LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental
Design) Silver certification for new construction, the Twins were
also the first professional sports franchise to attain LEED Silver
Certification for the operation and maintenance of their
facility.
“It’s an honor to expand the relationship between two Minnesota
institutions: The Minnesota Twins and Tennant Company,” said Rusty
Zay, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing for Tennant Company.

and deliver high performance cleaning with a lower environmental
