GMP

History

GMP has operated in Italy's Veneto region since 1964. The company is based in Pieve di Soligo. The official profile states it has specialized in flatwork textile ironing equipment since 1980. This line covers commercial as well as small and medium industrial laundries. Businesses running their own in-house laundry are also among the main users. The company's product range is more focused on the ironing stage than on general textile washing.

GMP's range is divided into the E2, G and GMP lines. The machine models are offered across various working widths and applications. The company states it gathers market feedback for product development. Research areas include new materials and improving machine efficiency. The official site states the sales network covers more than eighty countries. Technical and commercial relations are handled through the company in Italy.

In 2022, Switzerland's Schulthess group acquired a controlling stake in GMP. This transaction expanded Schulthess's laundry-products portfolio. The parent group's official press materials report on the acquisition. GMP's own site retains an Italian address and a separate legal name. The cylinder ironer line complements the group's washing and other services. Sales and technical support are listed separately on the official contact page. Schulthess's overall employee figure is not given as GMP's separate staff count.
