Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in designing,
manufacturing and marketing solutions that help create a cleaner,
safer, healthier world, announced that the Orbio os3
system—developed and marketed through its Orbio Technologies
Group—was named one of the Top 10 Products of 2014 by American
School & University Magazine.

This award joins other honors recently given to the os3 system,
including the 2014 ISSA Innovation Award in the Dispensers category
and Honorable Mention for an Innovation Award by the Association
for the Healthcare Environment (AHE).
The Orbio os3 system replaces conventional, multi-colored and
fragranced daily-use chemicals. Through the process of water
electrolysis— which combines water, electricity and a small amount
of salt—the os3 system creates an on-site and on-demand effective
cleaning solution and a disinfecting/sanitizing solution that meets
U.S. EPA regulatory guidelines for disinfection and sanitization.
Designed to fit in most janitorial closets, the os3 is compact,
affordable and simple. The system makes cleaning processes more
efficient, streamlines training, and helps improve health and
safety. It also decreases the environmental footprint associated
with conventional packaged chemicals by reducing packaging and
transportation.
“Orbio Technologies is proud to have our os3 system named among
the Top 10 Products of 2014 by American School & University
Magazine,” said Karla Leis, Vice President and General Manager of
Orbio Technologies Group. “The readers of American School &
University cast their vote for the game-changing innovation of the
os3 system. It is especially gratifying to be recognized by the top
facilities decision makers in the education industry.”
Leis added, “The education market is increasingly adopting the
Orbio os3 OSG system because of the benefits it provides schools
and universities. For instance, the cleaning solution from the os3
does not contain VOCs that can irritate students with asthma. In
addition, the compact size of the machine makes it easy to
implement and the system can be easily and cost-effectively
expanded throughout a facility with the unique os3 satellite
system.”
The Top 10 Products of 2014 are featured in the December 2014
issue of American School and University and were selected by the
readers of ASU magazine, the nation's K-12 and higher-education
administrators responsible for the planning, design, construction,
retrofit, operations, maintenance and management of education
facilities.
