After running a successful tent rental business, we discovered a problem: Tents needed to be washed, but there wasn’t an easy way to do it. So, we developed a solution—the first tent washing machine on the market. We sold our tent rental company, and launched Teeco, forever changing the industry options for washing tents.

FOR OVER 26 YEARS, OUR MISSION HAS BEEN SIMPLE: WE WANT TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR PEOPLE WHO OWN AND ASSEMBLE TENTS.

STEVE ARENDT

AKA TEECO STEVE THE TENT CLEANER GURU

I was dubbed “Teeco Steve” from a good friend in this industry and what I’ve come to realize after 26+ years of cleaning tents is that I have a passion for helping clients improve their businesses and lives. And I’m fortunate to be a part of the tent rental industry alongside my wife of 32 years, Becky. I enjoy traveling, reading, adventure racing and a little golf. Oh…and snuggling the newest addition to our family, my grand daughter, Vivi.

SANDY PARKS

CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER

I’m a self-proclaimed nerd because I love working with QuickBooks, numbers, data and organizing. I’m an active volunteer at the local Elks Lodge and have 5 kids and 6 grandkids to keep me busy when I’m not at work. My husband and I also have a small zoo at home with 2 dogs and 3 cats. I love to bake, cook, and garden. I’m an avid St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan and St. Louis Blues hockey fan!

REBECCA ARENDT

MARKETING AND SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR

I’ve been married to “Teeco Steve” for 32 years and worked side by side in the tent rental industry for 26+ years. We’ve grown and evolved from running a rental company into what you all know as Teeco today. Around here I’m the behind-the-scenes-digitial dynamo, social media and marketing master. I enjoy cooking, playing the piano, traveling and have been a beekeeper since 2016. Most of all, I love spending time with our family and stealing snuggle time away from Papa with our grand daughter!

JAY ARENDT

CHAIRMAN

If the coffee is hot, you can expect a visit from DAD. We love our dad and he is the chief dispenser of any advice on any subject you can imagine. So we gave him the fancy title of “CHAIRMAN”!

Teeco is based in St. Louis, Missouri. We enjoy working in the heart of the Midwest – the people are friendly, the gooey butter cake is plentiful, and the baseball is (for the most part) never disappointing.

Every machine we sell is built at our headquarters. From the humble beginnings in a 1,500 square foot center to a facility that now exceeds 45,000, Teeco has the in-house expertise to service any size customer throughout the world. What makes Teeco manufacturing special is that everything from building UL approved electrical panels, fabricating the steel to maintaining an online library for future service is done in one place. The Teeco team is always ready to serve in any capacity a client may need.
