History
The company's history dates back to the 1970s when Matti Sinkkonen established Tana-Jyrä Ltd. The company has also been known as Kone-Jyrä Ltd, Oy Tanacorp Ltd until in 2003 the current owner renamed the company Tana Ltd (Tana Oy).
Kone-Jyrä Ltd was known for the cancelled Iraq deal. In the late 1980s, the Iraqi government wanted to buy 16 motorboats from the company but due to the Gulf War, the deal was cancelled. A few of the boats were later used by the Finnish Society for the Saving of Shipwrecked Persons.

The word 'Tana' comes from the Finnish word 'tanakka' which is used in the sense of something being robust, reliable and durable. It refers to the modular structure of the TANA machines and their longevity. A Finnish word for compacting, 'tanata', comes from the TANA landfill compactors and is nowadays used to describe crushing and compacting waste.
