Over PLN 680 in subsidies for robotization of furniture industry

The Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP) selected 42 furniture manufactiring robotization projects of a total value of PLN 29 million. The average value of the grant amounted to PLN 681,500.

Deputy Minister of Development and Technology, Olga Semeniuk-Patkowska, stated that Poland is a leader in the European and global furniture market. According to data from GUS, the year 2021 was a record-breaking year in terms of furniture production, reaching a value of nearly 56 billion PLN. Polish exporters accounted for 19.2% of the value of EU furniture exports. However, the number of robots used in the furniture industry is below the average compared to other sectors of industrial processing in Poland. The Robogrant program is designed to help change this, Semeniuk-Patkowska added.

Furniture manufacturers based in Poland could receive support of up to 85% of qualified expenses, up to a maximum of 1 million PLN.
