Your laundry at the centre. European experience as a perspective.
Every laundry has its own story: buildings, machinery, people, customers and operating habits. For this reason, an effective solution is not chosen from a catalogue alone, nor copied from another plant.
Experience gained across several European markets makes it possible to compare different production approaches, automation solutions and commercial models, and to assess what may genuinely suit your business.
Flowmatics brings together three perspectives that are often addressed separately: how the plant works today, how it could evolve, and which commercial opportunities can support the investment.
- 01
Industry experience
Knowledge of automation and material handling for industrial laundries, gained through international commercial and design work.
- 02
European outlook
A perspective built through dealing with different markets, counterparts and ways of operating.
- 03
Technology and business
Assessment of solutions in relation to production capacity, organisation, commercial objectives and the sustainability of the investment.
Important decisions start with the right questions.
The next step is not always buying a new machine. It may be rethinking a flow, recovering space, rebalancing departments or understanding which customers to develop.
I work with you when you need to choose the direction, not only once the solution has already been identified.
- 01
You want to increase capacity
Before adding machinery, you want to understand what really limits your output and which measures can make the existing plant more effective.
Let's talk - 02
You are evaluating an investment
You have received different proposals and want to compare them on the basis of your needs, not just the features of individual machines.
Let's talk - 03
The layout no longer keeps pace with growth
Extensions and subsequent changes have created long routes, build-ups or difficulties linking the departments.
Let's talk - 04
You want to reduce manual tasks and waiting times
You are looking for automation opportunities consistent with volumes, product mix, space and work organisation.
Let's talk - 05
You are planning an extension or a new site
You want to define how the plant as a whole will work before committing to decisions on the building, equipment and material handling.
Let's talk - 06
You want to develop new customers or segments
You want to understand which commercial opportunities are compatible with your current capabilities and what adjustments they might require.
Let's talk
From development vision to operational choices.
You can involve Flowmatics on a specific decision or on a broader programme of work. The starting point is always the same: understanding your situation and defining an engagement that is useful, proportionate and concrete.
Service 1 · Plant analysis
Plant analysis and priorities
Before proposing any intervention, I analyse how the laundry works: production organisation, flows, material handling and links between departments.
The aim is to distinguish causes from symptoms and to identify where to focus attention, resources and investment.
What you get
- A structured reading of the main critical issues.
- The information to explore further and the indicators to measure.
- A prioritisation of interventions.
- A concrete basis for deciding the next steps.
First your laundry's needs. Then the solution.
Manufacturers know their own technologies thoroughly and are essential counterparts. For the customer, however, one question remains: how does each proposal fit into the operation and development of the laundry as a whole?
Flowmatics works alongside you from this perspective. I start from your objectives, compare the alternatives and help you build a more structured dialogue with suppliers.
This also means assessing when it makes sense to reorganise what you already have, proceed in phases or postpone an investment.
Independent support does not replace the manufacturers: it helps you involve them with clearer needs and shared selection criteria.
Tailored solutions
The layout and priorities are developed around your plant, not a standard model.
Technical and commercial vision
Production choices are read together with market and growth objectives.
Clarity before investing
Alternatives, constraints and points to verify are made explicit before decisions are finalised.
A concrete discussion. A defined path.
I listen to your situation
I start from what you want to improve or decide: production, investment, extension or commercial development.
I define the questions to answer
We agree objectives, the information needed, activities and expected results.
I analyse and compare
I assess data, flows and alternatives, with site visits and further investigation where planned.
I help you choose
I present priorities, options and points to verify to support an informed decision.
I work with you on the next steps
If requested, I continue with discussions with suppliers, project development or the implementation of the commercial plan.
You do not need to have a defined project already. The first discussion can also start from a critical issue, an idea for development or an investment still to be evaluated.
Hands-on experience. International perspective. Direct dialogue.
Massimiliano Mattioli
Consulting for industrial laundries | Layout, automation and commercial development
I have worked in the industrial laundry sector for around twenty years, on a path that combines automation, commercial development and international project management.
I gained long experience at Montanari, in automation and engineering for laundries, dealing with customers, plants and requirements in more than 15 European markets.
This experience taught me to read a laundry from different perspectives: the production flow, the needs of the people who run it, the possibilities offered by technology and the company's commercial objectives.
With Flowmatics I put this vision at the service of owners and managers who want to help their business evolve, assess the alternatives and approach projects with greater clarity.
I handle the dialogue with the customer directly and, for each engagement, I define the contribution of any specialist expertise that may be needed.

Frequently asked questions
When is it useful to contact Flowmatics?
When you face a decision involving your plant, organisation or commercial development. It may be a capacity problem, a new investment, an extension or the search for new customer segments.
Can I contact you even if I do not yet have a defined project?
Yes. The first discussion is precisely meant to clarify the situation and to see whether a deeper review would be useful. You do not need to have a specification or to have chosen a technology.
Do you also work on existing plants?
Yes. The analysis can cover an existing plant, part of one, or an extension project. I first assess what can be improved, and only then any investments.
I have already received an offer from a supplier. Can you help me evaluate it?
Yes. I can review the proposal against your needs, the constraints of your plant and the alternatives available. The aim is to clarify scope, integration and points to explore further before the decision.
Does the consulting also cover the market and commercial development?
Yes, when included in the engagement. I can analyse positioning, competitors and possible customer segments, linking commercial opportunities to the laundry's capabilities and operating requirements.
How does the first contact work?
With a short introductory video call to understand your situation. If a need emerges that I can work on, you will receive a proposal setting out objectives, activities, deliverables and fee.
How much does the consulting cost?
It depends on the problem to be addressed and the level of detail required. The scope and financial terms are agreed before any work begins.
Can you guarantee a specific result?
Before an analysis, it would not be serious to promise percentages. Objectives are defined in relation to the starting situation, the available data and the interventions that can realistically be carried out.
What is the next important decision for your laundry?
A new plant, an extension, a flow problem or a market to develop.
Tell me what you are considering. We start with a concrete discussion to understand where I can be useful.
A first discussion with no obligation. Any subsequent work is defined and quoted separately.
