Modena, May 11th 2010: This is an interview to Mr Mattioli Montanari, Export Manager of Montanari Engineering Construction srl, leading company for the production of counting and sorting systems for laundries.
Mr Mattioli, could you tell us something about the origins of your company?
Well, Montanari srl was founded by the father of the present President, Mr Nando Montanari. After 18 years spent in the Navy ( 2 world wars and two sinking), once back home, he decided to propose automatic carrying systems to the growing Industry of Modena area. His cleverness combined with the strictness he had learned during his experience in the navy, led Nando and his firm to be well known in all his region.
Can you retrace the key stages of the company? Which elements have contributed to its success?
In its ten-yearly experience in the market of goods handling, our company has worked in several sectors: agricultural, food, industrial…
Our strength has always been our relationship with our customers: each supply was and still is based on the understanding of their needs and their objectives. In this way we have focused our experience and our skills on the development of a custom system in line with the clients’ expectations.
Thanks to our expert team we can offer a complete service from planning to after sales assistance.
Which have been the difficulties over the years and how did you ride them out?
The real troubles are the daily ones: development, improvement, research…
We have to face them every day but we have chosen this method to grow.
Which are the centerpieces and strengths of your firm?
The answer to this question would merit a deep reflection on the entrepreneurial approach which has led this company to the level it is now… But in a few words I could say that our strengths are: flexibility, experience and after sale assistance.
Flexibility: for us, it’s a constant search for the right solution for our clients. We know this method is far from the present standards but we deeply believe in it , also thanks to the satisfaction our customers prove to us.
Experience: we’ve been on the market for more than 50 years and in the laundry sector for 30 years: we think we have learned something in all these years…
Support: it’s a direct line with our technicians that work in real time to solve each kind of problem. As for the foreign markets, when our language limits can’t satisfy a request, we rely on modern softwares through which we can interact with local PCs. Whatever is the language and the problem, we can find the solution.
