REACH will alter our portfolio in the next 10 years. Some products will disappear while other products will be added, replacing those removed with enhanced products as required by Article 1 of REACH:
“The purpose of this Regulation is to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment, including the promotion of alternative methods for assessment of hazards of substances, as well as the free circulation of substances on the internal market while enhancing competitiveness and innovation”.
Tennants GmbH REACH Team is constantly working on an information exchange with our customers and suppliers as well as with external organisations and partners. Carefully preserving our portfolio is what we did in the past and will continue to do in the future. The market is moving and changing and we like serving all our partners with the best products and services and will continue to do so in the future.
Tennants GmbH will keep you informed about all the changes during the REACH legislation process via our local marketing managers and, if requested, via our REACH Team. If you wish to contact us on the subject of REACH please write to our e-mail address: REACH@tennants.net
