Background to The Tennant Group

Tennants, pioneers in the chemical industry, had their origins in Glasgow as far back as 1797, when the first products produced by the founder Charles Tennant were Chlor alkalies needed at that time to speed the Bleaching of Textiles.

During the founder's life the seeds of the Tennant Group of Companies were sown.  A branch office was opened in Dublin as early as 1810 and has continued to trade in Eire since that date.

There has of course been continual change and evolution, but the basic pattern has not altered.  Our wide range of chemicals, raw materials and building materials are carefully chosen and continually reviewed to meet the ever changing needs of industry.  Principals represented include several national and multinational companies.

The Tennant Group are members of the European Chemicals Distributors Alliance (ECDA).  This is an alliance of European Chemical Distributors whose principle aim is to offer cross border coverage for single source arrangements.

The alliance works on the selected distributor being in a position to offer the range of products over a given area.  Where a distributor does not supply the complete range of products required, the distributor shall find a method either by sub alliances or by outsourcing to manage the position.
