PROFESSIONAL TAILOR-MADE DEVICES As well as for the Architecture and the Art even for the fabrics’ hygiene it’s all a matter of proportion, especially when we deal with micro and small consumers. There comes a time when we have to say enough to compromises, underestimated or high-priced solutions to get the cleaning results we expect. This is why Grandimpianti offers a specific line commensurate to the needs of MSEs (micro and small enterprises).
S
mallPRO models were created to provide the right balance between professional results and tiny sizes, suitable for limited spaces, peculiar of small and micro enterprises. Have you always been inclined to give up on creating an indoor laundry because the quantity of garments to be treated wouldn’t justify the investment in professional equipment? Or because you don’t have the surface suitable for housing them, or also because you believe your staff isn’t sufficiently prepared to manage them? You have no excuses now! SmallPRO line, in fact, meets all these doubts and production requirements, highly flexible and dynamic, typical of small and micro users.

EUROPE IS A NETWORK OF MICRO-ENTERPRISES A
“Although to date only 10% of European citizens are entrepreneurs, as many as 45% would like to work on their own.”
s many as 93.2% of all EU companies are microenterprises which, individually, offer over 50.2% of jobs and produce 57.6% of the value added. They are the real backbone, the connective tissue of the European economy and the crisis cannot be overcome without taking into account their specific needs. It’s a flexible and dynamic market with its necessities and issues that require customized solutions, thus far too often disregarded.
WHEN THE SPACE IS SMALL BUT THE BUSINESS IS EXTRALARGE I
n our sector, when it comes to micro-enterprises, we make the mistake of underestimating their potentials and resize their
needs, thinking that small is synonymous of unprofessional. Nothing could be further from the truth! As the official data has demonstrated, the entire EU economy relies on small or even micro enterprises: companies with fewer than 10 employees who create, however, almost 60% of the European value added. A scenario made of tiny hotels and bed and breakfast, beauty centres and gymnasiums, cleaning companies and restaurants that are small only from the sizes point of view. A misconception which has misled too many entrepreneurs as well, convinced that they’re too small to address the professional market, so they’ve settled for home solutions, insufficient for their workload. On the other hand, it must be admit that the producers were unable to provide adequate answers to this market sector. At least so far: Grandimpianti has decided to “think small” by creating a line of equipment specific for this category of entrepreneurs, that can be a valuable support to encourage self-employment and to improve their performances. Specific solutions, therefore, both for those who have decided to start a new micro business, and those who already have a company and want to make a quality leap.
“MSEs have more than proportional economic importance compared to their weight and they are the driving force of job creation.”

THE COLLECTIVE AND COMPLETE ANSWER TO THE HYGIENE AND CLEANLINESS ISSUES Three families of products designed to combine in an effective and modular way the peculiarities of each machines with the uniformity of their language and performance.
Aiming to win the battle for cleanliness and hygiene and responding to the needs of different type of customers, we have developed an integrated system of products (washing machines, tumble dryers and ironers) who speak the same language: the user’s one. Products that know how to communicate effectively and positively to each other, ensuring optimal performance. Three families of products in which uniformity and modularity are the key concepts. You can find the uniformity even in their names. Our products, indeed, have the initial G followed by a letter indicating the family they belong to. A simple, fast and functional way to make the product easily recognizable:
GWH (Grandimpianti I.L.E. High spin): high spin washing machine; GWM (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Medium spin): medium spin washing machine; GWN (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Normal spin): normal spin washing machine; GB (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Barrier washer): high spin barrier washing machine; GDZ (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Entry level): the entry level dryer with G-WizÂŽ control; GI (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Ironers): the world of ironing. These models differ from each other in functionality, but are similar in their fundamental aspects. Products that share the same type of electronic control, which can be combined into a single module forming an integrated team, extremely easy to handle for the operator, whether he is, user or maintainer. A further competitive advantage of these products is the energy efficiency, crucial point of their design and creation process. The concept of contamination between technologies has allowed us, indeed, to implement ideas and solutions from other areas, transferring and using them into a new solution tailored to the laundry sector. As the patent DWS for linen weighing or the introduction of the extruded and anodized aluminium plate in our ironers, allowing significant savings of time and energy.
