Solutions and consulting for the manufacturing sector: expertise to grow your business

Andersen team of professionals specializing in manufacturing offers tailor-made solutions and consulting 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.

Our commitment to the success of the Italian manufacturing sector

We work closely with companies of different sizes and specializations to thoroughly understand the industry and its dynamics, monitoring market developments and trends. Constant dialogue with clients allows us to have an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing district, to anticipate clients’ needs and offer cutting-edge solutions.

This dedicated approach has led Andersen to develop a comprehensive view of market dynamics and opportunities in the manufacturing sector, enabling us to tailor our services to specific needs. The ability to customize activities ensures that we develop a tailored and timely response to varying needs, establishing lasting relationships of trust.

Our multidisciplinary services for the manufacturing sector

We offer consulting services with an international and multidisciplinary approach, which is structured based on the specifics of manufacturing and industry. Adding a professional with specific experience in the client’s target industry into the team is a key element in ensuring:

  • Strategic analysis: in-depth study of market dynamics and value drivers
  • Business models: creating effective and competitive business models
  • Customization of solutions: tailored approach, considering the specifics of the industry

Using this approach, we develop tailor-made solutions that are perfectly aligned with clients’ needs and the changes in the competitive environment, thus ensuring a concrete and sustainable advantage over time.

Strategic consulting for the development of manufacturing companies

The firm advises on all tax, legal and financial aspects of extraordinary transactions, with the goal of actively contributing to our clients’ growth and development. We assist Italian and international companies, ensuring high service levels even for those operating in different jurisdictions while maintaining a single point of contact.

We work with entrepreneurs, corporations, industry groups, and domestic and international funds to help them plan and implement strategies that foster business growth and sustainable value creation. We provide support in mergers and acquisitions and other strategically important transactions that require extensive knowledge of laws and market practices.

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.
