Bringing robotic cleaning technology closer to European customers: T16AMR Production takes off in Uden

The Uden manufacturing facility has been a cornerstone of Tennant’s operations in the EMEA region for many years, boasting a long story of producing legacy floor cleaning machines. Today, this modern manufacturing hub has been finally equipped to produce our T16AMR industrial robotic floor scrubber.

This milestone is more than just a manufacturing expansion—it’s a game-changer for our European customers, strengthening our commitment to innovation and reinforcing Tennant’s leadership in robotic cleaning across Europe.

Why local manufacturing matters

The decision to produce the T16AMR in Uden addresses some of the most pressing challenges for European facilities managers:

• Faster access: By eliminating the need for transatlantic shipping, businesses can implement robotic cleaning solutions without delay, taking advantage of a streamlined supply chain, which ensures improved availability and shorter lead times.
• Reduced environmental impact: Local production aligns with Tennant’s sustainability goals. By manufacturing closer to European customers, the carbon footprint associated with transportation is significantly reduced, helping organizations meet their own environmental targets while staying efficient.
• Tailored support for the European market: Whether it’s adapting to regional regulations, enhancing support for distributors, or improving response times, bringing manufacturing in Europe allow Tennant to respond more effectively to the unique needs of the European market, delivering a more seamless customer experience.

"This is an exciting chapter for Tennant as we expand our AMR production into Europe for the first time"

said Sylvain Rottier, VP & General Manager of Tennant EMEA.

Meet the T16AMR - built for the challenges of busy facilities

The T16AMR is not just another automatic floor cleaning machine. It’s a transformative solution for industrial and commercial facilities, powered by Brain Corp’s BrainOS® AI technology. Here are just a few reasons why the T16AMR stands out:

• Autonomous Navigation: Advanced AI ensures precise, reliable cleaning performance even in complex and dynamic environments.
• Data Privacy: For our European customers, all operational data can be securely stored within the EU.
• Sustainability: Reduced water and chemical usage with ec-H2O NanoClean® technology.
• Versatility: The T16AMR seamlessly adapts to a wide range of industrial and commercial cleaning environments.
• Reliability: Equipped with advanced data insights, the T16AMR provides detailed reports of proof of clean. This ensures facility managers have full visibility into cleaning operations, improving accountability and operational efficiency.

Strengthening the Commitment to Europe

Equipping the Uden facility to produce the T16AMR is a natural next step in Tennant’s ongoing development, which also highlights the importance of meeting regional demand for robotic floor cleaning solutions.

“By integrating BrainOS® into these locally-produced robots, Tennant is enabling businesses across Europe to adopt smarter, more efficient cleaning operations while driving sustainable practices”

said Michel Spruijt, President at Brain Corp International.

Every T16AMR produced in Uden will carry the hallmark of local craftsmanship and innovation, giving customers across Europe access to one of the most advanced autonomous cleaning solutions on the market.
