Andersen team of professionals specializing in manufacturing offers tailor-made solutions and advisory as a result of their extensive experience in the industry. Our expertise is the pillar on which we build lasting relationships, working side-by-side with clients and becoming a point of reference to best seize the opportunities and face the challenges of a crucial sector in Italy’s rapidly evolving manufacturing fabric.
The advantage of having an integrated team acting in concert on tax, legal, and corporate finance issues allows entrepreneurs or investors to limit the number of persons they liaise with and count on the support of an advisor who is a strategic, comprehensive partner for the company’s growth.
As industry experts, we offer quick, clear answers, proactively and carefully incorporate regulatory changes, and advise on tangible optimizations.
Manufacturing: challenges and evolution
Manufacturing companies in Italy account for about a quarter of the national economy. Recognized and appreciated globally, Italian manufacturing – represented by wide ranging operations – is fertile ground that lends itself well to technological and productive development.
Andersen’s professionals specializing in manufacturing know that technological evolution, combined with environmental changes, present significant challenges that require specific training and attention, compounded by the growing need to comply with new regulations and guidelines.
Due to Andersen’s widespread presence throughout the world, exports and access to international markets are transformed from a challenge into an opportunity for growth and development, with constant support along the way.

Incentives for industry innovation and growth
Companies operating in industrial production and manufacturing are constantly looking for ways to invest in new equipment and machinery, while reducing costs and increasing profits. For years, a variety of tax credits and incentives have been offered in many countries to help companies achieve their goals of improving, and thus stimulate national economic growth. Specifically:
- Transition 5.0 Bonus: incentives for investing in innovative solutions
- R&D Tax Credits: for research and development activities
- Training and Skills Development: subsidies for staff training on digital and energy transition
In addition to typical credits related to investments and job creation in general, specific tax credits were introduced for the manufacturing sector. The most important ones included the Transition 5.0 Bonus or Industry 5.0: a benefit for investments and innovative solutions for production facilities located in Italy. The Transition 5.0 Bonus applies to projects that involve reducing energy consumption and aligning with the European Green Deal goals for a more circular and sustainable economy. Therefore, expenses incurred by companies for training employees to acquire or consolidate skills in the digital and energy transition can also be subsidized. Andersen conducts customized analyses on feasibility and cost-effectiveness to evaluate the best tool for the company.
