Kannegiesser and Montanari Join Forces: Partnership Creates New Opportunities

Kannegiesser stands for innovative solutions in automation, robotics, ergonomics, productivity, and sustainability for industrial laundries.

Together with Montanari, a long-established family business from Modena (Italy), Kannegiesser has entered into a strategic partnership. The goal is to strengthen its market presence in Europe and offer customers a broader range of logistics solutions. The partnership began in January 2026.

Italy is one of the most demanding markets for laundry solutions in Europe. Many medium-sized businesses need tailor-made, innovative solutions. Montanari has developed customized solutions over the course of decades and built close, long-standing customer relationships, resulting in a deep understanding of their requirements.

The company has been active in the market since the 1950s and specializes in manual and automated systems for laundry logistics. “Like Kannegiesser, Montanari is family-run and works closely with its customers to create durable, practical solutions. This proximity to the industry, combined with technical expertise and experience, makes Montanari an ideal partner for our future”, explains Tina Kannegiesser, CEO.

Complementary Products Deliver Added Value for Customers

Both companies offer monorail systems for laundry logistics, with Kannegiesser delivering its solution under the name Supertrack, while Montanari also contributes its expertise in laundry packaging and shipping solutions. Together, they complement each other’s capabilities:

  • Montanari: flexible, customized systems for small and medium-sized laundries
  • Kannegiesser: highly automated, scalable complete solutions

The result: An expanded portfolio that meets diverse requirements with precision.

New Opportunities in Europe – Strengthening the European Market Presence

The partnership opens up new perspectives across Europe. In these markets, both companies can strategically expand their presence and jointly offer integrated logistics solutions.

The aim is to further combine strengths: robust technology, deep market understanding, and customer-focused service. These advantages will deliver clear added value to customers across Europe.
