What I-team does

i-team Global is a Netherlands-headquartered designer and manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment, founded in 2015 and operating from Eindhoven with a regional office in Tokyo. The company sells hardware across multiple product families: i-mop scrubber dryers (Lite, 36, 40, 40 Pro, XL, XL Pro, XXL Pro), the vac and i-move vacuum lines, the co-botic family of autonomous cleaning robots (i-walk, co-botic 45/65/1700/1900/1900 Pro), the SAFE-T cleanroom range, and a broad accessory and consumables portfolio including i-dose pods, i-power batteries, i-stack chargers, i-remove gum removal, i-cover disinfection, i-link/i-sense/i-know data platforms, and i-hygienic plant-based detergents.

The technology platform centers on modular, battery-powered, ergonomically designed hardware with sustainability and repairability built in (documented 40L to 18L daily water reduction per i-mop). The co-botic line uses smart sensors and self-adjusting components for autonomous operation, while i-link and i-sense add connectivity and performance monitoring. SAFE-T-IMOP, SAFE-T-VAC, and SAFE-T-BOT 45 extend the architecture into contamination-controlled cleanroom environments up to ISO Class 4.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales via a global partner network (distributors, service providers, and dealers in 13+ countries) supported by a self-service Partner Portal and direct enterprise field sales. Recurring revenue streams include consumables (i-dose pods, i-hygienic detergents) and invitation-only i-academy training services. End customers span building service contractors, pharmaceutical/cleanroom operators, hospitality, healthcare, public institutions, industrial, retail, and transportation — with named enterprise users including Axeo Services, SKF Group, MITIE, and Bidvest Noonan.

Direct peers

• Kärcher: German family-owned global leader in professional and consumer cleaning equipment, including scrubber dryers, vacuums, and autonomous machines, with extensive distribution. Directly comparable to i-team across scrubber dryers, vacuums, and the professional B2B channel model.
• Nilfisk: Danish-listed manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment (scrubber dryers, vacuums, pressure washers) with a global sales and service footprint. Closest comparable to i-team in product range, B2B focus, and European roots.
• Tennant Company: US-listed manufacturer of floor cleaning machines, including autonomous robotic scrubbers, serving industrial, commercial, and healthcare segments. Directly comparable business model and product portfolio, including autonomous units overlapping with i-team's co-botic line.
• Hako (Possehl Group): German mid-market manufacturer of professional cleaning machines, municipal equipment, and autonomous industrial sweepers under the Hako and Multicar brands. Closely comparable in product mix (scrubbers, sweepers, vacuums) and B2B GTM via dealer network.
• Comac S.p.A. Italian family-run manufacturer of professional scrubber dryers, sweepers, and vacuum cleaners, exported globally. Direct comparable in floor-care machinery and mid-market professional positioning, also pursuing autonomy.
• Dulevo International: Italian producer of industrial and municipal cleaning machines (sweepers and scrubbers) with global distribution. Comparable in industrial/cleanroom-adjacent cleaning equipment category and channel-led GTM.
• CLEANFIX: Swiss manufacturer of professional floor-cleaning machines (scrubber dryers, sweepers, single-disc machines) sold globally through dealer networks. Closely comparable mid-sized European competitor to i-team's i-mop family.

Emerging players

• Brain Corp: US-based AI platform powering autonomous navigation on commercial floor-cleaning robots deployed through OEM partners (e.g., Tennant, Kärcher). Comparable on co-botic autonomy technology stack rather than direct equipment sales.
• Avidbots: Canadian manufacturer of autonomous floor-scrubbing robots (Neo) targeting commercial and retail environments. Overlaps with i-team's co-botic family in autonomous floor-care but is a focused autonomous-only competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Diversey Holdings: US-listed global incumbent providing cleaning products, tools, and equipment (including autonomous solutions) across institutional, hospitality, and healthcare segments. Broader portfolio than i-team but serves the same B2B customer base and competes on cleaning chemistry/consumables (e.g., i-dose vs Diversey dosing).
