The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing €25 million to Tecnocap, a global leader in metal packaging, to support green investments aimed at improving energy efficiency and developing renewable energy self-generation at its industrial plants in Italy, with a smaller portion of the initiatives planned for its facilities in the Czech Republic. The financing will enable Tecnocap to implement measures such as modernizing production processes, enhancing industrial buildings, and installing state-of-the-art photovoltaic systems for on-site renewable energy consumption.
These initiatives are aligned with the EU’s Clean Industrial Deal and REPowerEU objectives, promoting sustainability, energy independence, and efficiency. By reducing the company’s environmental footprint and optimizing industrial assets, the investments are expected to enhance Tecnocap’s competitiveness, support the creation of skilled employment, and foster economic development, particularly in cohesion regions, thereby contributing to the green transition in less-developed areas.
The EIB credit line offers a flexible, long-term financial structure to facilitate the phased implementation of Tecnocap’s industrial plan. Banca Finint S.p.A. acted as arranger for the transaction, supporting the structuring of the investment and ensuring it aligns with the company’s growth strategy.
EIB Vice-President Gelsomina Vigliotti highlighted that the project exemplifies how the bank supports mid-cap companies in their decarbonization efforts, strengthening competitiveness while fostering a sustainable, resilient industrial economy. Tecnocap’s CEO, Michelangelo Morlicchio, emphasized that backing from leading institutional partners like the EIB validates the company’s industrial vision, combining sustainability, operational excellence, and long-term growth.
Alberto Nobili, Head of Investment Banking at Banca Finint, noted that the transaction strengthens the entrepreneurial fabric of Campania and Southern Italy by providing long-term financing tools to support sustainable investments and energy efficiency, complementing the region’s economic development and green transition.
