What Apple Industries does

Apple Industries Inc., doing business as Faceplace, is a Greenvale, NY-based designer and manufacturer of commercial digital photo booth hardware and software, founded in 2008. The company sells a portfolio of photo booth products — the flagship customizable Photoma, the LED-equipped Photo Studio Deluxe and Photo Studio Prism, the Marvel Studios-licensed Marvel Adventure Lab, the Disney-branded photo booth, and the Movie Booth — to enterprise customers across entertainment, retail, cinema, sports and museum channels. Core technology revolves around integrated LED light arrays, background removal capability, sound systems and customizable software that supports branded user interfaces and printed output.

The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a distributor network and a Revenue Share program in which venue operators deploy Apple Industries booths and share in generated revenue. Brand-licensed content (Marvel, Disney) functions as a major differentiator, with named deployments at Simon Malls, Regal Cinemas, Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts, NHL, MLB, Cineplex, Dave and Buster's, Madame Tussauds, Hasbro and others. Beyond hardware, the company sells consumable media via faceplacephoto.com/media, creating a recurring aftermarket stream tied to active deployed fleet.

Apple Industries is a privately held, founder-operated company with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity or funding rounds. The business model is therefore cash-funded, with reported headcount in the 11-50 range and no public revenue disclosure. Strategic emphasis is on branded entertainment IP, hardware reliability and venue economics, rather than software-as-a-service or AI-native capabilities.
