Thanks to strategic planning, efficient technology and ongoing support, this project shows how innovation can drive sustainable and reliable growth.
To support the progressive growth of Lavandería Industrial Medina by expanding its facilities and incorporating efficient equipment that increases production capacity, maintains finishing quality and optimizes resource consumption.
The constant increase in customers and workload meant that both the initial garage and the first industrial unit became insufficient. Manuel Gómez and Lourdes Jiménez needed a new space capable of meeting current demand and prepared to double production in the future, without losing service quality or process efficiency.
The construction of a tailor-made industrial plant equipped with nearly twenty Girbau machines, supported by a technical project designed to optimize layout, workflow and energy consumption. Lavandería Industrial Medina also received support from Girbau’s Andalusian branch for equipment supply, financing options, staff training and ongoing assistance.
From a garage to an industrial facility
Lavandería Industrial Medina was born as a family initiative during the most challenging years of the economic crisis. Its beginnings were modest: two small washers and a second-hand dryer installed in a garage, from where Manuel Gómez and Lourdes Jiménez began serving hotels and small restaurants in Medina Sidonia.
The combination of close customer service, commitment and high-quality finishing standards allowed the business to grow quickly. As the customer base steadily increased, operations moved to a small industrial unit within the town, where capacity was expanded and processes became more professionalized.
However, demand continued to rise. To keep growing without giving up its roots, the company launched a new phase with the construction of its own facility, ready to meet present and future needs alongside a technology partner capable of supporting that growth: Girbau.
To face this new stage, Lavandería Industrial Medina trusted Girbau as its global partner for the design, development and implementation of its new industrial laundry. The project included technical plant studies, space planning, workflow optimization and the integration of solutions tailored to the company’s real operational needs.
Beyond supplying technology, Girbau also provided financial guidance, commissioning support and technical training for the laundry team. This collaboration accelerated the transition toward a more productive, efficient and future-ready operation.
The new industrial plant was developed in Medina Sidonia with a clear objective: to grow without losing its local identity. Thanks to Girbau’s support, the company turned its expansion into a strategic opportunity, creating a modern, scalable laundry prepared to double its capacity whenever market demand requires it.
The technical design of the facility optimized internal flows, improved daily productivity and strengthened service quality at every stage of the process.
One of the most valued aspects for Lavandería Industrial Medina has been Girbau’s ongoing maintenance and continuous support. Having access to responsive, specialized technical assistance provides day-to-day security, ensures fast action whenever needed and allows the company to operate with confidence knowing it has a committed long-term partner.
This long-term relationship shows that Girbau’s value goes far beyond the initial installation: it is based on supporting customers through every stage of growth.
