New Legislation Brings Strong Financial Incentives for Industrial Equipment Buyers

Recent legislative changes are delivering powerful tax incentives that directly benefit U.S. manufacturers—including Abbott Furnace Company and our customers.

Here are three key takeaways:

1. Accelerated Deductions Under Section 179

Companies can now deduct up to $1.25 million immediately for qualifying equipment. This allows businesses to invest in advanced thermal systems with minimal delay in seeing financial return.

2. Full Bonus Depreciation Through 2026

Large capital investments—like industrial furnaces—qualify for 100% bonus depreciation. This provision, extended through 2026, helps customers quickly recover the cost of their equipment upgrades.

3. R&D Expensing Simplified

One of the biggest shifts? R&D expenses are now fully deductible in the year they’re incurred. No more spreading those costs over five years—prototyping, control systems, software, and testing costs are all included.

What it means for Abbott and our partners:
These changes encourage innovation, reduce financial barriers to new technology, and make it easier than ever to invest in high-performance furnace systems. Whether you’re upgrading your line or developing a new process, the new tax code supports your progress.
