Non-repayable allowance for the tanning industry
Contributi a fondo perduto per l'industria conciaria
Background information
The prolonged pandemic crisis has harshly impacted the Italian manufacturing industries, the so-called “made in Italy”, including the tanning sector. These sectors, after the decline in the production during the first phases of the COVID-19 emergency, displayed the first signs of recovery in 2021. Nevertheless, the current increase in the prices of raw materials has further exacerbated their financial sustainability. Accordingly, the Government introduced non-repayable contributions for the tanning industry.
Content of measure
To support the restart of the manufacturing sectors in Italy, and in particular the tanning industry, the Government has devoted a non-repayable grant amounting to €10 million in favour of the companies operating within the various production districts belonging to the tanning industry.
The non-repayable allowances are allocated to companies belonging to a tanning district on the national territory that present, individually or in an integrated supply chain mode, investment projects able to increase their competitiveness through the introduction of digital production processes and product innovations.
The costs eligible for the allowance include industrial research or experimental development, as well as guaranteeing the environmental sustainability of investments.
The request for the allowance has to correspond to a minimum of €50,000 and to a maximum of €200,000 for single companies; and to a maximum threshold of eligible expenses of €500,000 for integrated district projects.
