We have been observing the market for years and the different sectors applied state or regional aid plans to promote its modernization … renew windows and Energy Efficiency , and especially the PIVe of passenger cars.
On this occasion and thanks to the insistence of different organizations and associations, some autonomous communities have launched Renove plans to help modernize professional kitchens.
Sustainability and energy efficiency are fundamental pillars for us to treat each production unit as a generator of value, as well as ecological sentiment.
The Spanish Hospitality Federation (Fehr), led in the past Feria Hostelco, the demand and request to the public administrations of the need to have aid that encourages the business activity of renovation of hotel equipment and in turn helps businessmen in the sector to be more efficient with energy consumption and improve their processes and production times .
The machinery for the hotel industry is becoming more sophisticated as well as productive, achieving true rankings of time for cooling, cooking, washing, etc …
Speed is important, but the result is much more and in an increasingly professional market the need for state-of-the-art tools and stainless steel collaborators finish, preserve and wash as it is done in the XNUMXst century.
The atomization of the national hospitality sector means that the ownership of the establishments is in the hands of a percentage higher than 70% in the hands of Self-employed or SMEs and in this sense, the need for financing for equipment renewal is a reality, especially after these years of economic slowdown.
At the moment there have been 3 Autonomous Communities that have launched a battery of aid measures that we will now detail.
The CCAA of Madrid
Industrial machinery has already published a renewal plan for its replacement in establishments that request it, with the main objective of improving safety conditions at work, thus promoting the modernization of installed capacity.
The plan has been endowed with 610.000 euros, to be able to cover 40% of the amount of the purchase of machinery up to a maximum of 12.000 euros. (minimum of 1.000 and maximum of € 14.000 per company)
In the Basque Country
The public company for the Promotion and Industrial Reconversion of the Basque government, through an economic development and competitiveness plan, has been carrying out actions to help SMEs since last January XNUMXst.
The plan is endowed with 9,5 million Euros, to collaborate with the modernization of the machinery installed in the premises of hotels, canteens and manufacturing companies.
The subsidy reaches 15% of the investment up to a maximum limit of 70,000 euros for each team (eligible investment cap € 100,000)
In order to complement the work of culinary creation, the subsidy is also extended to packaging and packaging machinery, and to the transformation of raw materials and semi-finished products.
In the Generalitat Valenciana
During the month of February the government authorities, have launched a plan endowed with 2,5 million euros to forgive the loans that are requested in order to renew machinery in hospitality establishments, subsidizing these at zero cost … always in interest, the return of the principal will always be necessary.
