Teknia, a Spanish multinational specializing in automotive components, has received a €30 million loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB).

This financing is earmarked for Teknia's research and development (R&D) activities and their application in manufacturing sustainable automotive components across its facilities in Spain, Poland, Romania, Germany, Sweden, and Czechia.

The investment will specifically target the application of advanced manufacturing technologies, product diversification, and the reduction of carbon emissions. This initiative is also supported by InvestEU, an EU program designed to mobilize over €372 billion in investments by 2027.
