Recurring revenue is generated through Lifecycle Corr Services, including 24/7 helpdesk support, training programs (>5,000 participants annually), the proprietary iParts/iKnives/iBelt spare-parts ecosystem, corruDUR/corruLUB consumables, and lifecycle upgrade agreements. Globally the parent operates 9 production sites and over 3,100 employees, with the North America entity headquartered in Baltimore employing 101-250 staff and serving U.S. box plants.

Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales with technical consultation, quote-based pricing for custom plants and machines, and a global service network.
