How a concrete manufacturer in Wales upgraded site cleaning with Tennant's Ride-On Floor Sweeper 800

When your business spans generations, you learn to spot what stands the test of time. Penygroes Concrete Products Ltd, a family-run manufacturer in South West Wales, first chose a Tennant sweeper in 1991. Their goal? Keep their four-acre site clean, safe, and their operations efficient. The solution was the Tennant 95 Sweeper—an industrial workhorse that served the concrete manufacturer faithfully for three decades.

By 2021, it was clear the decades-old floor sweeper had earned its retirement. But for the Penygroes team, one thing remained non-negotiable: the rock-solid reliability that had kept their site clean and operations running smoothly for 30 years.

So they came back to Tennant.

“We saw other equipment,” said Rhodri Williams, Director at Penygroes. “But nothing came close to what the 800 achieved on the demo. That’s why we stayed with Tennant.”

The 800 has since transformed their daily operations—reducing airborne dust, supporting environmental goals, and maintaining the clean, professional image Penygroes is known for.

Just as importantly, they didn’t do it alone. Tennant provided on-site training and ongoing support to make sure the cleaning machine integrated seamlessly into the team’s workflow.

“The machine is easy to use, simple to maintain, and the service we received was second to none.”
