Kannegiesser Opens New Production Facility in Aue-Bad Schlema and Invites Guests to the Wäscherei Forum 2025

After 30 years of successful development at its site in Aue-Bad Schlema, Kannegiesser is taking the next major step forward. With the opening of a new production hall, the company is establishing the most advanced ironer manufacturing facility in the world. This marks a strong commitment to Germany as a production location and reflects the company’s long-term strategy: delivering top-tier quality through in-house manufacturing. From the smallest component to the finished ironer, everything is manufactured in-house by Kannegiesser. The grand opening of the new hall will serve as the backdrop for the Kannegiesser Wäscherei Forum 2025 .

From November 3–5, 2025, we will welcome customers, partners, and industry professionals to Aue-Bad Schlema to experience the new production facility firsthand. In addition to live demonstrations, the event will focus on current industry topics, aiming to spark new ideas and drive innovation in laundry technology.

 

From Components to Finished Ironers: Highest Level of In-House Manufacturing

With the new production facility, every part of an ironer is produced directly on-site in Aue. This ensures maximum control, flexibility and quality. The expansion also secures the future of the location and jobs in the region.
“With the construction of our new hall, we are investing specifically in the future: in state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, the highest quality and even more flexibility. All of which will directly benefit laundries in their day to day work,” says Tina Kannegiesser, CEO.

 

Three Days of Technology, Open Dialogues and Future Perspectives

The Wäscherei Forum 2025 offers a diverse program including expert presentations, live demonstrations and hands-on workshops. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in personal conversations with Kannegiesser specialists and other industry experts.
“We’re excited to showcase our new manufacturing hall and to discuss the future of laundry technology with our customers – personally, practically and with a focus on strong partnerships,” says Michael Harre, CSO.

Focus on CO₂-Neutral Laundries

A key focus of the Wäscherei Forum will be the journey towards CO₂-neutral laundry operations. With its “Green Laundry” concept, Kannegiesser helps businesses make their processes both sustainable and economically profitable. The foundation: durable machines, energy-efficient technologies and intelligent digital control systems.

“With the Wäscherei Forum, we’re creating a platform for an open dialogue about the future of laundry technology. The industry still lacks a comprehensive concept for CO₂-neutral laundries and that’s exactly where we come in. Together with our customers, we want to present and discuss real-world solutions for sustainable laundry operations. As a system supplier, we already offer technologies that enable our customers to take the next steps -efficiently, sustainably and with a clear focus on saving energy and resources,” says Michael Harre, Managing Director of Sales and Service.
