Grants for manufacturing and production craftspeople
In brief
A manufacturing or production craftsperson can fund their investment through local and regional grants. If your trade relates to wood, arts and crafts, or metalworking, dedicated pages list grants more precisely targeted at your trade. This page lists the other schemes currently validated for this trade, with their funder and maximum amount where known.
This sector covers craftspeople who manufacture or produce a good themselves, as opposed to service- or sales-based crafts.
Most of the grants listed here are local investment grants for crafts and trade, run by groups of municipalities, without a fine-grained distinction by industry.
If your trade relates to wood (sawmilling), arts and crafts, or metalworking, dedicated pages list grants specifically designed for these industries.
The FAFCEA and the OPCO EP fund ongoing training for craft business owners and their employees, in addition to investment grants.
The maximum amount is known for only some of the grants listed here. This page helps you identify relevant funding leads, without replacing an individual check of your eligibility.
Run a personalised scan to identify the public grants and funding your company may be able to access.
What projects are covered?
The grants listed here fund the equipment or real-estate investment of a manufacturing craftsperson, without a precise distinction by industry.
Three industries have dedicated trade pages with more targeted grants: sawmilling and the first processing of wood, arts and crafts, and metalworking.
What amount can be obtained?
The maximum amount is known for only some of the grants listed for this trade.
The amount actually awarded depends on your project, the scheme's rules, and the funder's decision.
How do you identify the funding suited to your business?
The number of schemes listed — most of them very local — makes a manual selection lengthy, and sometimes imprecise.
The Capital OS scan automatically cross-references these criteria with the full set of referenced public grants, to identify the ones that genuinely apply to you:
- Your precise manufacturing industry (wood, arts and crafts, metalworking...)
- Your location
- The nature of your project (investment, training)
