OUR VALUES

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Innovation, reliability and high performance are the values that characterise our products and that assure the satisfaction of our customers. For this reason, every day, we invent the future with ever-new washing solutions.

TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN

We develop products with a high technological content, but also with an attractive design that reflects all the quality and aesthetics of an Italian-made product. We offer cutting-edge technical solutions made with always new and top-quality raw materials.

FLEXIBILITY AND DYNAMISM

We quickly offer customised solutions and projects tailored to each individual need, because no customer is identical to another. Different customers, different solutions.

ECO-SUSTAINABILITY AND FUTURE

We design and build without ever losing sight of the eco-sustainability of our products. All our technological efforts are aimed at reducing the consumption of water, electricity and detergents. Products with low environmental impact, but highly efficient.

OUR HISTORY

Our history begins in 1987 with the production of high-pressure washers and special systems for washing and water treatment. Thanks to this experience, both the basic car wash technology and the particular attention to various aspects of environmental protection were developed. Since the initial intuition of the value and the solid prospects of car washing in Italy, today’s development of technologies and ethics has led to and increase in the number of MIX-branded plants or systems bearing the insignia of major oil companies. In recent years, MIX has obtained all the quality certifications covering its products, business and production facilities and has positioned itself as a market leader in Italy and as a strong competitor abroad, from Latin America to Eastern Europe.

And our future… starts again every day.

1987

The year of MIX's foundation

The year of MIX's foundation. The shareholders can boast thirty years of experience in the high-pressure washing sector. The Company's production activity is based on the construction of high-pressure washers as well as on the design and construction of special systems for washing aircraft, rollovers, etc. Customers include companies such as SAGAT of Turin and the Società Italiana per il Traforo del Monte Bianco (the Italian company involved in operating the Mont Blanc Rollover).

1988

Study and design

MIX's Management decides to tackle and investigate the problem of environmental impact,
promoting the recovery of wastewater to safeguard the environment. This is a year of study and planning that comes to completion in 1989.

1989

Wastewater treatment

MIX diversifies production and offers its client base a series of Wastewater Treatment Plants for the processing of wastewater from car washes, car dealers and workshops. The technology, still used today, is based on stainless steel water treatments operated automatically to ensure both a complete functionality of use for the operator, and compliance with the regulations concerning the discharge of water.

1993

Relations with large international companies

Professionalism has led MIX to become the supplier of an important oil company: SHELL ITALIA. A result that marks the beginning of commercial relations with other important oil companies such as AGIP PETROLI spa and TAMOIL. To date, more than 500 systems have been built and installed in Italy and abroad, offering a rapid after-sale assistance planned to assure the correct functioning of the systems installed.

1996

The first washing systems for cars and trucks

The company applies the CE mark on its products, in compliance with the provisions of Directive 89/392/EEC and 89/336/EEC. 1996 marks another important milestone for the success of the MIX brand on the market: the first high-pressure self-service car wash systems for cars and trucks.

1999
