Three Decades of Clean: How Tennant Industrial Machines have supported a Concrete Block Manufacturer since 1991
Background
Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd is a third-generation manufacturer specialised in producing and delivering concrete blocks across South and West Wales. With over 45 years of experience, this family run business has always looked for - and maintained - high operational standards, including cleanliness.
Challenge
In March 1991, Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd was looking for a cleaning machine that could handle the cleaning of their 4-acre site, both indoors and outdoors. At that time, the company selected a Tennant 95 Sweeper, which had been taking care of their site cleanliness for an impressive 30 years since its purchase. This long-lasting relationship was a good reason for Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd to turn to the Tennant team again, when in June 2021, the company decided it was the right time to look for a new and robust sweeper that would help them reduce dust and debris levels within their site, while preventing dust from reaching nearby residential areas.
Solution
Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd partnered with Tennant team to perform an in-depth site assessment, and after evaluating various options, the Tennant 800 Heavy Duty Ride-On Sweeper has been identified as the ideal replacement for the aging Tennant 95. This powerful sweeper stood out for its:
- Wide cleaning path for increased sweeping efficiency
- Advanced HEPA filtration system to reduce dust emissions, and help manage silica dust
- Heavy-duty steel construction for durability in the highly demanding indoor and outdoor industrial and manufacturing environments
Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd also booked a live demonstration of the Tennant 800 at their facilities in March 2021, during which this Industrial Sweeper successfully showcased its cleaning capabilities, such as capturing dust, rocks, paper, glass and other heavy debris. Collaborating with Tennant, Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd Team experienced a comprehensive training to ensure seamless integration of Tennant 800 into daily operations and machine maintenance. Since deployment, the new sweeper has significantly improved site cleanliness, reducing dust levels and enhancing overall environmental quality. Moreover, the team at Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd highlighted Tennant’s remarkable service support.
“The reason we have stayed with Tennant was down to a few things; reliability and durability of the machine shown, it is easy to use and simple to maintain for such a large machine, and the excellent levels of service received from both Tennant’s Service Department and the Sales Department. Your willingness to provide support in helping us identify a new machine was second to none and we have had a Tennant on site for over 30 years, this is why we stayed with Tennant.”

Results
By upgrading to the Tennant 800 Industrial RideOn Sweeper, Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd has modernized its cleaning operations, ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more efficient working environment.
“We have had a Tennant on site for over 30 years, so the proof is there to see every day. We did see other equipment, but in our opinion nothing came close to what the 800 achieved on the demo, this is why we stayed with Tennant” - Rhodri Williams, Director of Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd
