Revenue model

1. Industrial Equipment and Hardware Sales: Conductix-Wampfler generates revenue primarily through the sale of industrial hardware including conductor rails, festoon systems, cables, slip rings, spring reels, motor-driven reels, wireless charging systems, batteries, radio remote controls, and overhead catenary systems. Products are sold directly to industrial customers in automotive, mining, port, intralogistics, crane, and transit sectors. The company also operates a B2B online shop (conductix-shop.eu) for product sales.
2. Charging and Energy Solutions: Revenue generated from wireless charging systems (WirelessCharger 3.0), inductive power transfer solutions, conductive chargers, charging contacts, charging rails, and energy storage solutions (BatteryPacks). These are sold as integrated systems for AGVs, AMRs, port equipment, and industrial mobile robots.
3. Customized Slip Rings and Rotary Joints: Sale of modular, customized, and explosion-proof slip rings / rotary joints for industrial applications requiring rotating power and data transmission, including hazardous environments.
4. Terminal Operations Services and RTG Electrification: Framework agreements with port terminal operators (e.g., APM Terminals) for RTG electrification products and terminal operations services, including energy supply systems and battery systems supporting zero-emission and hybrid operations.
