50 YEARS OF LAUNDRY
At the half-century milestone, IMESA is led by
Carlo Miotto (President) and Alessia Miotto
After the 50th anniversary of its foundation, IMESA has changed pace, working on technical competitiveness and the culture of
its people.
A transformation, first mental then digital, technical and technological, in response to the fast-changing environment in which
we live.
True innovation is the culture of change that is desired, transferred, cultivated and that flowers deep down.
An industrial personality that manifested itself in the most difficult period of IMESA's history, in which, despite the context of
uncertainty and reduced opportunities due to the events that have put markets and companies in difficulty, IMESA has
consistently invested to raise the quality of its products and services.

Customers and Markets
Economic growth in emerging markets, the constant increase in population and the consequent emer-
gence of new urban areas, the social trend towards single-parent families and singles, and the growing
need for health services and specialised facilities are just some of the reasons for the worldwide increase
in the need for a professional laundry service.
Changing lifestyles, attention to consumption and the environment, and new materials and fabrics that are
easy to handle have prompted the strong spread of self-service laundries, particularly in the European
states and North America.
The revival of the tourism sector and the increasing demand for hygiene, safety and quality from
customers, is driving more and more accommodation facilities to equip themselves with an in-house
laundry for the complete management of the service.
There are many situations in which a laundry service is needed; activities related to people
such as hospitals and elderly care centres, sports centres and wellness centres, but also a
completely different sector such as the agri-food industry fits in with the concept and need for cleanliness
and hygiene.
IMESA caters for a wide range of customers by offering each of them the right machine, a tailor-made
service and guaranteed results.
On the other hand, when the need for a self-service laundry is to optimise space and increase shop production
capacity, the TANDEM line is best suited to the case.
Detergent consumption can be monitored through the IMConnect portal and the IMESA pump dosing system.
This function is particularly required by detergent manufacturers and in the case of washing machine rental contracts, as it
ensures total remote management of consumption and cycles performed by the washing machine.
And what about the most delicate, refined and haute couture garments? IMESA's WetCleaning system guarantees gentleness
and results even with fine fabrics and delicate inserts such as sequins and lace. The combination of machine and OPTIWASH®
detergent not only guarantee stain removal but also ensures less water and soap consumption in an environmentally friendly
way, with a consequent reduction in costs.

Optiwash® Cycles
WHY OPTIWASH®
Complete control of the washing cycle is a prerequisite for accurate laundry management.
Targeted washing programmes, machines with intelligent programming and an accurate dosing
system lead to excellent results at the lowest cost.
The knowledge of fabrics and their technical characteristics, the familiarity with detergents
and their action on stains and fibres, and the experience in setting the phases of a washing cycle,
are the skills acquired and implemented by the IMESA team and laboratory.
The skill of creating a washing cycle by defining each of the 4 working phases
of the washing machine, PRE-WASHING, WASHING, RINSING and SPINNING is
important to achieve perfect laundry.
