Barbanti’s mission has always been clear: to make its customers’ operations more efficient and profitable. Guided by a strong commitment to innovation, transparency, and quality, the company goes beyond manufacturing machinery to deliver practical solutions to the real challenges faced by industry professionals every day.
The company’s history is marked by its ability to anticipate and respond proactively to market challenges, an approach that positioned Barbanti among the first to develop several key machines for the sector. Even before the introduction of the shirt finisher in 1992, the company had already designed technologically advanced systems. Barbanti’s machines reflect decades of expertise and continuous innovation. Each investment represents not only a commitment to quality but also a guarantee of long-term reliability and ongoing technical support.
Today, the clothing industry is shifting towards a more casual style, creating new challenges for the finishing sector. Skilled labor is becoming increasingly scarce, and profit margins are under pressure. It is within this context that FinishBox was developed, specifically designed to address and overcome these evolving challenges.
FinishBox is a unique finishing machine for hanging garments, combining the efficiency of a finishing tunnel with the precision required to handle each item with care, from everyday cottons to delicate silks, and from polyester to luxurious cashmere. FinishBox is the result of months of research, expertise, and innovation and represents a genuine technological advancement in garment care (patent application has been submitted).
FinishBox delivers both speed and cost savings, capable of finishing and/or pre-finishing over 200 garments per hour. Its compact footprint, less than 80 cm wide, and remarkable installation flexibility make it suitable for any finishing department. The machine operates without compressed air, requires only 4–5 bar of pressure, and doesn’t need dedicated steam lines.
The result is an exceptionally user-friendly machine. Highly productive, compact, and with low operating costs, it ensures efficiency and quality while offering an outstanding return on investment. It can also adapt seamlessly to fluctuating production demands without compromising performance. Investing in FinishBox is a strategic, forward-looking decision. By addressing some of the most pressing challenges in ironing departments, it establishes itself as an indispensable tool for the modern textile-care sector.
This philosophy is reflected across the entire Barbanti product range, which stands out for its modern design, durability, and superior build quality. Each machine is meticulously engineered to meet the specific requirements of its intended application. Thanks to this approach, Barbanti addresses all ironing needs across different sectors: from garment manufacturing to Ho.Re.Ca. (hotels and communities), and from dry-cleaning to wet-cleaning.
This technological expertise is reinforced by several patents, underscoring the company’s long-standing commitment to innovation. Since as early as 2008, Barbanti has integrated sustainability and energy-saving solutions into its products, adopting a comprehensive optimization approach that balances efficiency, reliability, and quality. Most of the product range can also be integrated with CB Smart, the company’s interconnection platform designed to keep ironing departments under continuous control. Through CB Smart, operators can remotely monitor performance and efficiency, ensuring greater operational visibility and more intelligent management.
FinishBox is therefore the latest expression of a vision that has guided Barbanti for decades: transforming technology into a practical tool that serve both people and businesses, with a clear focus on the future of professional finishing. Barbanti’s extensive showroom showcases the full product range in operation, and customers are invited to test the machines with their own garments, with no commitment, allowing them to experience firsthand which solution best suits their needs and make informed decisions.
"We started using FinishBox immediately and quickly experienced its benefits. I can confidently say it is very simple and intuitive to operate," says Andrea Bianconcini, manager of Lavanderia Bianco by Ferri in Forlì. "The main reason we decided to invest was undoubtedly the time savings, which translate into lower labour costs, combined with consistently high-quality results. Our productivity has tripled, and FinishBox integrates seamlessly into our production cycle. Its remarkable output helps reduce stress during peak periods. We’ve seen significant time savings and exceptional results, particularly with challenging garments like blouses and silk dresses. This efficiency allows us to be more competitive, increasing both volume and margins. I would make this investment again without hesitation." •
