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. “Tennant
has earned a reputation as a trusted provider of products and services
to stadiums and arenas around the country. Our products are designed to
improve facility maintenance productivity and deliver high performance
cleaning with a lower environmental footprint. We’re thrilled to partner
with our hometown team and help Target Field maintain its standing as
the No. 1 baseball stadium experience in North America.”
