AboutTennants

The Tennant Group

Unrivalled experience

Unbeatable service

The Tennant Group began in Glasgow in 1797 when Charles Tennant invented a stable process for bleaching cloth; a revolutionary process at the time which transformed the textile industry and led to Tennants becoming a Global chemical producer. Since that time, the Tennant Group has developed into a successful, independent, chemical company, involved predominantly in the manufacture and distribution of chemicals. Today, Group annual turnover exceeds £500m, employing over 1000 people worldwide.
