i-team Global is a privately held Dutch company that designs, manufactures, and distributes professional cleaning equipment and systems. Headquartered in Eindhoven, the company operates in over 70 countries and is recognized for its focus on ergonomic design, sustainability, and the professionalization of the cleaning industry. Its product portfolio includes a range of floor scrubbers, autonomous robots, professional vacuum cleaners, plant-based cleaning liquids, and digital monitoring tools aimed at improving cleaning efficiency and user well-being.[1] It serves sectors such as facility companies (bsc), public institutions, healthcare, hospitality, retail, and transportation.[2]
History
i-team Global was founded in 2015 by Frank van de Ven with the mission to change the cleaning industry by empowering cleaning professionals through smarter, safer, and more sustainable tools. The company’s philosophy is encapsulated in its motto: “Inquire, Innovate, Inspire,” reflecting its commitment to continuous improvement and user-centered design.[3]
The company’s early success was catalyzed by the launch of the i-mop at the 2014 Interclean trade show in Amsterdam.[4] This vertical scrubber-dryer combined the flexibility of a traditional mop with the power of industrial cleaning equipment, setting a new standard in the industry.
U.S. Operations and Partnerships
i-team Global has maintained a longstanding connection with the United States, serving both as a production base and a key market. Among its shareholders is Bill Allen, founder of Hawaii Care & Cleaning, who contributes professional cleaning expertise to the company. Manufacturing and distribution activities are carried out from Holland, Michigan. Squeegees are produced by Midwest Rubber in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Technologies for antimicrobial protection, odor control, and surface modification are supplied by Microban, headquartered in Huntersville, North Carolina.[5]
Products
One of i-team Global’s most popular products is the i-mop, a scrubber-dryer known for its ergonomic design.[6] The i-mop product line includes models such as the imop Lite, i-mop 36, i-mop XL, i-mop 40, and i-mop 40 Pro.[7]
Operations
i-team Global operates through a global network of distributors and i-partners in 72 countries.[8] The company maintains Experience Centers in the Netherlands[9] and China, where clients can test equipment in simulated environments such as hospital rooms, aircraft cabins, and retail spaces.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a core pillar of i-team Global’s strategy. The company aligns its initiatives with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
Key initiatives include:
- Made Blue Partnership: For every liter of water used in i-mop operations, an equivalent amount of clean drinking water is donated to communities in need. As of May 2025, this has resulted in over 1.7 billion liters donated.[10]
- B Corp Certification: Since July 2025, i-team Global has been officially certified as a B Corp.[11]
- Sustainability Hub: An internal intranet platform was launched to centralize sustainability knowledge and encourage employee engagement.[12]
Social engagement and sponsorships
i-team Global engages in various social and charitable initiatives through partnerships and sponsorships. The company collaborates with organizations such as the Made Blue Foundation to support global access to clean water. It also contributes to community development through sports sponsorships and local programs. Additionally, through the We Support Foundation[13], i-team Global participates in international charitable efforts and organizes events that bring together donors and supporters to support charitable causes.[14]
