Karcher Wins Case Against Tennant

 

P R E S S   R E L E A S E 

Tennant has lost court case regarding advertising claims for “activated water”

Final judgement: “ec-H2O” no better than tap water

Winnenden, September 2013 – So-called “activated water” is no more effective than tap water. Tennant’s advertising claims ascribing the cleaning power of an all-purpose cleaner to water “activated” using the ec-H2O technology, are anti-competitive: This landmark decision by the Stuttgart Regional Court is now legally binding. Tennant has withdrawn its appeal.

“The evidence was overwhelming. We were always confident that the facts would prevail in the end. With the withdrawal of the appeal the court’s decision is now legally effective: ec-H2O cleans no better than tap water,” says Markus Asch, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG. “The court decision is a success that benefits all customers. Competitive cases such as this one create confidence and trust.“

Tennant is required to bear the costs of the proceedings. This judgment will make waves worldwide. It heavily relies on the findings of the independent expert Thomas Hofmann (Zurich University of Applied Sciences) who had been appointed by the court. Besides Kärcher, other competitors and associations had publicly thrown doubt on the effectiveness of “ec-H2O” and carried out scientific studies as well as practical tests regarding the alleged cleaning effect.

More New Products!

We have been learning about a lot of new products lately! We are excited to be able to order these new products in and offer them to our clients. As soon as we hear about new products we like to share this info in hopes of helping our clients improve their cleaning systems and facilities. This morning our sales representatives learned about the Suma Optifill system from Diversey. This system has two products included - a detergent and a sanitizer.  The containers conveniently slip onto the dividers in your sink and provides automatic dilution by pouring water into a spout in the product container.This creates an extremely efficient wash, rinse, sanitize system in a typical three sink commercial kitchen. The product is highly concentrated so it lasts for a long time and creates less waste by reducing packaging in comparison to lower concentration formulas. If you have any questions about this product our sales staff are now fully informed on the benefits of this product. Anyone here would be happy to chat with you about this product or any of the others that we carry. Please feel free to call us at (888) 454-0807 or e-mail us at actionjs@eastlink.ca. You can also find product literature and MSDS on Diversey's website.
