The industrial boiler and pressure vessel manufacturing company from the Gironès region has signed an ICF Eurocredit loan with the public promotional bank to drive productive growth over the coming years. ICF Eurocredit loans offer advantageous conditions for Catalan SMEs thanks to co-financing from the European Union.
The Catalan Institute of Finance (ICF) has financed ATTSU Group’s new industrial boiler plant in Riudellots de la Selva with an €8 million loan. The company, specialised in the design, manufacture, and commercialisation of steam boilers, thermal oil boilers, autoclaves, and other pressure vessels, has begun construction this March of an industrial facility equipped with all necessary production installations to serve as its new production plant.
The project, with a total investment of €14 million, will allow ATTSU Group to expand its production facilities and significantly reduce manufacturing time and costs to meet the growing global demand for industrial boiler products, particularly in sectors such as energy, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, while continuing its international expansion.
“With this financing operation, we are boosting a key industry in the Gironès region and supporting a project that also contributes to sustainability, the decarbonisation of the economy, and regional growth. This is and must be the mission of public promotional banking,” highlighted Vanessa Servera, CEO of ICF.
Francesc Johé, spokesperson for ATTSU Group, stated: “This ICF financing, both in terms of conditions and timelines, will allow us to produce highly efficient electrified equipment with zero CO₂ emissions in the new factory, and will help us enter the industrial decarbonisation and energy transition market more quickly and strongly, which requires rapid responses due to the volatility of fossil fuels in the context of global instability.”
ATTSU Group will consolidate Aillaments Tecnivap and ATTSU KLAUS—specialised in industrial insulation and autoclaves, previously located in separate production facilities—into a single plant.
Additionally, the company will have more space to expand its R&D&I department and will continue developing and improving new products, such as high-voltage electrode steam boilers and high-efficiency steam generation equipment using heat pumps.
The new production centre will also allow the company to better integrate sustainability into manufacturing processes and the use of lighter, more durable materials, thereby optimising product longevity and functionality and reducing the carbon footprint of its production process.
Public bank financing is provided through an ICF Eurocredit loan, which offers favourable conditions for Catalan SMEs looking to boost investments, enter new markets, and develop innovative projects, thanks to co-financing from the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
