Tennant Company today announces the retirement of Don Westman,
Senior Vice President of Global Operations, effective June 2, 2015.
The company will immediately initiate a search for his replacement.
Mr. Westman joined the Company in 2006 as Vice President, Global
Operations and was named Senior Vice President, Global Operations
in October 2013.
“Under Mr. Westman’s leadership, Tennant Company has transformed
our global operations,” said Chris Killingstad, Tennant Company

efforts; expansion of Operational capabilities to key emerging
markets of Brazil and China; and increasing manufacturing capacity
in North America while decreasing the plant footprint by roughly
40%,” Killingstad added.
“On behalf of Tennant, I want to thank Don for his many
contributions to the success of Tennant,” said Killingstad.
Killingstad noted that the company is targeting to name a
replacement in first quarter 2015 in order to manage a transition
period until Mr. Westman’s departure in June 2015.
