Our History

With a proud heritage, dating back well over 200 years, the name Tennants has stood the test of time.

The original Charles Tennant, a weaver by trade and friend of the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns, patented the process of using lime and chlorine gas to bleach linen in 1788.

Charles Tennant and Company, first registered in Glasgow in 1797, was one of the largest industrial complexes during the industrial revolution.

Due to the importance of linen in Ireland, Charles Tennant first opened an office in Belfast in 1805 and Dublin in 1810 and have been trading continuously ever since.
