Tennant Company Reaffirms Annual Guidance

Tennant Company TNC today announced that Karel Huijser, Vice President of the company's International business unit, will be leaving the company but will continue to work for a period of time to complete the transition of his duties. Huijser joined the company in 2006. “I want to thank Karel for his service to Tennant,” said Chris Killingstad, president and CEO of Tennant Company. The company does not plan to replace Huijser at this time. According to Killingstad, the company will use this opportunity to leverage the strengths of the regional leaders based in Europe, China and Australia. “For the remainder of 2011, we still anticipate continued recovery in North America, strong growth in emerging markets and modestly improving conditions in Europe,” said Killingstad. “We remain committed to managing the business with a focus on operational excellence and rigorous cost controls while making selective investments in key strategic priorities.”
