In an age when change is the only constant, adaptability and resilience become imperative, especially in the dynamic world of professional laundries. Over the past two decades, this industry has undergone a radical metamorphosis, moving from traditional management to operating models increasingly geared toward optimizing production processes. In this context, PONY establishes itself as an all-round partner, offering automated, robust and versatile solutions designed to meet the challenges of modern laundries.

The Pillars of PONY

At the core of PONY’s philosophy lie two fundamental principles: innovation and efficiency. By incorporating state-of-the-art production technologies, the company not only boosts operational performance but also drives substantial energy savings. From shirt and jacket finishers to trouser toppers and a wide range of ironing presses, PONY combines a seamless blend of high-performance finishing and exceptional service quality.

Recognition and Technology

The continuous commitment to excellence of PONY was recently recognized with the certification for boiler production and the qualification of welding processes. This milestone not only reinforces the company's dedication to product quality and reliability but also highlights its strategic approach to continuous innovation and the expansion of its product portfolio.
Among the latest innovations, the DB Premium series of shirt finishers, particularly the newly launched DB Supreme, stand out for their exceptional performance. Engineered to maximize shirt ironing productivity up to 120 shirts per hour, these machines incorporate the most advanced technologies developed by Pony, for both pressed and blown ironing, offering high-speed operation without compromising quality, even when operated by less experienced users. Every function has been thoroughly studied and designed to ensure a flawless finish on every part of the shirt. These innovations further consolidate PONY's position as one of the global leaders in the sector of industrial ironing machines.

Relationships and Partnerships: Professionalism with a Human Approach

The Sales Team of PONY is always available and responsive, ready to handle customer inquiries in five different languages, and committed to providing timely and effective support. This dedication to customer care is a cornerstone of the company’s philosophy, fostering long-term, mutually beneficial relationships built on trust and professionalism. PONY’s offering extends well beyond the efficiency and performance of its product range. The company has cultivated strong relationships with more than 200 dealers worldwide, turning the business concept into an opportunity for professional growth and development. Built on mutual trust and respect, these collaborations have fostered a genuine atmosphere of daily friendship and collaboration. This human-cantered approach has not only strengthened PONY’s global sales network but also deepened its insight into both local and international market dynamics. Customer relationships are at the heart of the company’s strategy, and every interaction is seen as an opportunity for mutual growth.

Social Responsibility: a Concrete Commitment

For more than 65 years, PONY has distinguished itself for a strong commitment to ESG principles (environmental, social, and governance) actively supporting initiatives that also bring benefits to the local area. The company has backed a wide range of cultural and social projects, from building schools and water wells in Africa to sponsoring sports associations and partnering with foundations and cooperatives that support vulnerable individuals. PONY has also contributed to the preservation of Italy’s historical and artistic heritage.

Sustainability: an Ally for the Future

A defining pillar of PONY’s identity is its unwavering commitment to sustainability. In a context where businesses are increasingly expected to reduce their environmental footprint, PONY positions itself as a strategic and reliable partner. The company has already made significant steps in technological innovation, most notably with the introduction of its revolutionary H.A.R.S. (Hot Air Recovery System), now available on the entire range of shirt finishers. This cutting-edge system delivers energy savings of up to 30% compared to traditional laundry drying methods, boosting operational efficiency while also creating a safer and more comfortable working environment for operators, fully aligned with the principles of corporate welfare.
