MINNEAPOLIS-July 23, 2009- Tennant Company announces that an animation video featuring its ec-H2O technology has won a Bronze Telly Award in the “Effective Use of Animation” category. The video, entitled “ec-H2O-How it Works,” was produced by Minneapolis-based Studio 23 in concert with Tennant Company’s Product Marketing department.

“Winning a Telly Award validates our commitment to excellence in messaging and communication and our belief that animation is a successful means of simply explaining how ec-H2O technology works,” said Melissa Engelhart, director of global business marketing with Tennant Company. “We are thrilled that our ec-H2O animation video, and, in essence, our marketing department, has been recognized with this honor.”

Developed by Tennant researchers and engineers and named by R&D Magazine as one of the most technologically significant developments in 2008, ec-H2O technology helps to meet the ever-growing need for sustainable cleaning. The ec-H2O technology delivers proven cleaning results without the negative environmental and health concerns associated with producing, packaging, transporting, using and disposing of traditional cleaning chemicals.

The Telly Awards honor the very best local, regional and cable television commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and work created for the Web. The Telly Awards are judged by top advertising and production professionals, each of whom is a past Telly Award winner.
