Fifty years of achievements of this\u00a0constantly growing company based in\u00a0Milan translate to the distribution of their\u00a0machines to more than 150 countries.\u00a0Rotondi group supplies industrial laundries,\u00a0<\/strong>hotels, hospitals, horse stables, sports\u00a0associations, communities and institutions.<\/strong>

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Any time any day all over the world. A cloth napkin\u00a0used by a client at a bistro in Paris, a towel used by a\u00a0top model in a hotel in Miami, a cover placed on the\u00a0back of an Arabian thoroughbred horse and a rugby
\nT-shirt worn by a Scottish college student all have something\u00a0in common, namely: they have been washed\u00a0and ironed by Rotondi Group laundry machines. Their\u00a0vast range of clients include industrial laundries, hotels,\u00a0horse stables and sports associations as well as communities\u00a0and institutions.
\nThe actors and the clothes can change an hour before\u00a0or three hours after the show. Yet, the \u201csynchronicity\u201d of\u00a0the scenes on a shared screen as if we were watching\u00a0a video clip, highlights the characteristics of this brand\u00a0and unites the four characters: it is Rotondi Group. The\u00a0business started 50 years ago from an excellent position \u2013 still uncontested \u2013 in the ironing business. They\u00a0produce and sell laundry machines all over the world\u00a0offering a complete laundry service: washing, drying\u00a0and ironing. \"\"Their authority in the sector is so well consolidated\u00a0that when the Quirinal Palace in Rome faced\u00a0the problem of ironing of the Italian flag waving outside\u00a0the residences of the President of the Italian Republic,\u00a0the task was assigned to Rotondi Group. The choice\u00a0was due to the technology, prestige and specialized\u00a0work force that the business offers. Rotondi\u2019s advert\u00a0slogan reads \u201cA Step Ahead\u201d which reflects their company\u00a0mission perfectly.\u00a0The figures can help understand such a \u201ccentral\u201d role.
\nStarting from Rotondi\u2019s headquarters in Settimo Milanese\u00a0with their 10-thousand square meter advanced\u00a0plant where they manufacture large volumes of ironing\u00a0machines for form-fitting garments together with\u00a0industrial ironing machines, flatwork and terry folding\u00a0machines. The space is very large and structured ergonomically\u00a0for the integrated manufacturing of each\u00a0piece, from CAD design to automated assembly. Such\u00a0an enormous production space reveals other important\u00a0figures, e.g. 800 types of ironing machines, vacuuming\u00a0tables and automatic presses. Another impressive\u00a0number comes from Rotondi\u2019s distribution line\u00a0managed by representatives in 52 different countries\u00a0but reaching 150 countries on the whole, on five continents.\u00a0The numbers tell us that the images we started\u00a0with are not just simple commercials but a credible simulation\u00a0of reality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All the impressive figures by this great, global brand include\u00a0Rotondi becoming an exclusive importer of Ipso\u00a0for Italian market, a prestigious brand by an American\u00a0group, Alliance Laundry Systems (we will come back\u00a0to this later on). Once again, \u201cA Step Ahead\u201d. Finally, following the inclination to obtaining excellent results\u00a0mentioned before, Rotondi Group opened, at the beginning\u00a0of this year, a subsidiary-showroom in Rome in\u00a0Sant\u2019Alessandro Street. It will undoubtedly enrich the\u00a0company\u2019s identikit while preparing to exhibit its products\u00a0at the upcoming Host, the International Hospitality\u00a0Exhibition scheduled in Milan for 20 to 24 October.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is difficult to imagine a better location than Host for\u00a0Rotondi Group. The participating tourist sector businesses\u00a0\u2013 no difference whether big or small \u2013 have\u00a0been united by a consolidated relationship with companies\u00a0that possess ideal characteristics to be able\u00a0to interact with any type of a business whether it is a\u00a0small resort in Provenza, a restaurant in Colli Romani\u00a0or a hotel in Acapulco.
\nIt is a question of both technology and the market.\u00a0Initially, Rotondi Group started in the laundry sector\u00a0in parallel to the clothing sector providing big brands\u00a0and small artisan businesses with a complete and differentiated\u00a0range of ironing machines for the finishing\u00a0stage of products for boutiques and shopping malls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To finish a men\u2019s jacket alone, the variety of functions\u00a0the machines are equipped with start from pocket welt\u00a0and flap ironing, edge seam opening to shoulder pad\u00a0fusing. These are only some of the possible options\u00a0according to Rotondi\u2019s \u201cencyclopedic\u201d vocation that\u00a0obviously extends to other types of garments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rotondi\u2019s know-how applied to garments treatment\u00a0combines with the capacity of quickly intercepting any\u00a0possible request coming from a laundry in terms of \u201ca\u00a0complete service\u201d. This includes crucial finishing operations\u00a0that highlight the \u201ccleanliness\u201d and allow for delivering \u201cas good as new\u201d garments to their clients. It is not a coincidence that Rotondi Group exports flatwork\u00a0ironing and folding machines all over the world – machines\u00a0that combine ironing and folding functions – as\u00a0well as a vast range of folding machines designed for\u00a0treating cloth napkins, towels, terry towels and covers.
\nThe company exports renowned, highly technological\u00a0ironing machines, a vast range of washing machines,\u00a0also available with an incorporated ozone function treatment\u00a0for those who choose to obtain luminescent,\u00a0white tablecloths or bedsheets.
\nAnother important \u201cparabola\u201d thanks to which we can\u00a0focus on the success of Rotondi Group in the global\u00a0laundry market concerns the \u201ccasual\u201d wear sector.\u00a0Obviously, more than ten years\u2019 experience in servicing\u00a0the \u201cpret-a-porter\u201d fashion world has allowed the company\u00a0to become an ideal partner of laundries, spread\u00a0everywhere but mostly in the Far East, that collaborate\u00a0with third parties treating jeans and denim garments\u00a0before passing on to the final finishing garment stage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is another example of how half a century of history\u00a0and development confirms that the intuition of Pierfrancesco\u00a0and Eugenia Rotondi who founded the\u00a0company, was right. Today, their sons Andrea and Davide\u00a0work by their side. The market itself proved that,\u00a0too, the moment in which Alliance Laundry Systems,\u00a0an important multinational group, chose Rotondi as an\u00a0exclusive distributor of an absolutely excellent brand,\u00a0Ipso in Italy. Ipso\u2019s highly technological washing machines\u00a0and driers, ideal for medium-small laundries,\u00a0translate to an integral coverage of Italian laundry\u00a0sector. The guarantee is provided by an excellent and\u00a0renowned Customer One program used by Ipso to\u00a0support its clients during the entire life cycle of the machines.\u00a0Consequently, a sudden growth has also been\u00a0registered in self-service laundries sector, traditionally\u00a0American style.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Again, \u201cA Step Ahead\u201d that Rotondi Group takes and\u00a0presents Ipso catalogue together with their own vast\u00a0range of high spin washing machines and driers, often\u00a0over a 100 kg loading capacity, destined to artisan and\u00a0industrial structures.
\nOnly this way, through a totally diversified and accurate\u00a0production so as not to leave any laundry\u2019s necessity\u00a0behind, one can explain the presence of sixteen\u00a0little flags on Rotondi\u2019s website home page. Every flag\u00a0stands for one language, which proves that Rotondi\u00a0Group speaks the language of the world. Well, should\u00a0Eliseo in Paris or Buckingham Palace in England need\u00a0to have their flags ironed, here is a company that has\u00a0already done it for the Quirinal Palace. \u2022<\/p>\n
