In a remarkable moment for the cleaning industry, Tennant Company has officially sold over 10,000 autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) worldwide. As Tennant’s number one UK dealer, GT Cleaning Machines are proud to celebrate this milestone—not just in terms of achievement, but as a reflection of where we know the future of cleaning is heading, and how our partnerships have helped shape better cleaning.
More Than Just a Number: What 10,000 AMRs Really Means
Robotic cleaning technology has come a long way. What once seemed daunting is now an everyday reality in facilities across the planet. The 10,000-unit benchmark is not just a number—it is a symbol of how automation is redefining cleaning standards in healthcare, retail, education, manufacturing, and many more.
Here at GT Cleaning Machines, we’ve seen firsthand how AMRs are transforming operations for our customers. From reducing the strain manual labour enforces on staff and improving the consistency of our clients clean, to performing in high-traffic environments with no issues. These machines are not replacing people at all—only enhancing productivity and enabling teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
Our Shared Journey: Why This Is a Milestone for GT, Too
As Tennant’s leading UK dealer, GT Cleaning Machines has been at the forefront of introducing and implementing robotic cleaning machines across a wide range of industries. Over the years, we have worked closely with various facilities managers and finance directors as well as operations leaders to explore how AMRs can solve real problems they encounter every day, not just impress on paper.
What sets us apart isn’t just our access to Tennant’s market-leading technology—it’s our commitment to relationships. Every sale, every demo, and every on-site consultation has been about one thing: understanding our customers’ world and matching the right solution to their needs.
We believe this milestone is as much ours as it is Tennant’s, because it’s a direct result of collaboration, trust, and long-term support.
Why AMRs Are Now a Must-Have
There was a time when AMRs were viewed as a shiny innovation for early adopters, a luxury for many. But it is clear to see the cleaning landscape has changed indefinitely. With rising labour shortages and increasing standards of cleanliness, autonomous machines are now a strategic necessity.
Tennant’s AMR line—including models like the T7AMR and T16AMR—have proven themselves in thousands of real-world applications. Powered by Brain Corp’s AI navigation, these machines are both safe and smart, with plausible, scalable metrics at their forefront. AMRs are constantly learning and adapting to their environments while integrating seamlessly with existing cleaning teams.
What we often tell our customers is this: adopting robotic cleaning isn’t about replacing your team—it’s about empowering them—by employing an AMR your team can focus their valuable time on more beneficial tasks than mopping floors. The results speak for themselves: improved coverage, reduced overtime, measurable performance, and most importantly, enhanced employee satisfaction.
From Innovation to Implementation: Our Role as a Trusted Partner
At GT, we don’t just deliver machines. We deliver peace of mind.
From initial site surveys and ROI analysis to training, aftercare, and long-term support, our goal is to make the transition to robotic cleaning as smooth and valuable as possible for each customer. That’s why many of the organisations we serve don’t just buy from us once—they partner with us for the long haul.
This milestone reinforces our belief that technology must be human-centred to be truly effective. The strength of our relationships—built on honesty, responsiveness, and expertise—is what turns an innovative product into a successful solution.
The Future of Cleaning Is Here
As we celebrate this achievement with Tennant, we’re also looking ahead. The demand for smarter, more efficient cleaning solutions will only continue to grow. And with each new robot deployed, we’re not only cleaning more—we’re learning more— all shaping the future of facilities management.
For us at GT Cleaning Machines, this milestone isn’t the end—but only the beginning. An indicator that we’re on the right path. And a reminder that our greatest asset will always be the partnerships we build.
Whether you’re considering your first AMR or expanding your fleet, now is the time to explore what’s possible.
