MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--i-team Global, a Future Cleaning Technologies (FCT) company headquartered in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, and Tennant Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. (through its Dutch subsidiary Tennant Netherland Holding B.V.), recently formed i-team North America B.V., a joint venture that will operate as the distributor of the i-mop, a heavy-duty scrubber that combines the cleaning performance of an autoscrubber with the agility of a flat mop, in North America. i-team North America will begin selling and servicing the i-mop starting April 3, 2017.
According to Tennant Company President and CEO Chris Killingstad, “This partnership will enable Tennant, directly and through its key distribution partners, to provide cleaning solutions for small spaces in which conventional automatic cleaning equipment doesn’t fit, as well as critical spaces such as quick serve restaurants and convenience stores that are not cleaned adequately by traditional mop and bucket methods.”
Frank van de Ven, CEO of i-team Global, stated, “We welcome Tennant as our newest partner and member of our worldwide family. With Tennant’s unparalleled reputation, customer relationships and service network, our i-team systems will be aggressively introduced to and efficiently supported in the North American market.”
Simultaneously, Creative Products International (CPI) of Holland, Michigan, which has been distributing the i-mop in North America until now, will become part of the i-team Global group and will continue to focus on their core competence of innovative microfiber systems with brands such as CPI, e-series and i-fiber.
