Revenue model

1. Ultrasonic Cleaners (BPAC-branded hardware): BPAC designs its own ultrasonic cleaners in France and has them manufactured in partner workshops in Asia. These are sold as one-time purchases (perpetual hardware sales) across domestic, professional, and industrial tiers. Revenue is generated at point of sale with no recurring subscription component. The company competes on quality-to-price ratio, targeting both B2B professionals and B2C individuals.
2. Elmasonic-branded ultrasonic cleaners (distribution): BPAC distributes the Elmasonic (Elma) brand of ultrasonic cleaners, another European reference in the field. These are sourced from Elma and resold alongside BPAC's own products. Note: Elmasonic products are special-order items not eligible for the 14-day right of retraction.
3. Detergents and cleaning solutions: BPAC sells a range of ultrasonic-specific cleaning detergents (e.g., ALKA5, YM77, GA33) and fontaine de lavage cleaning solutions. These represent repeat-purchase consumables that complement the hardware base.
4. Workshop equipment and accessories: BPAC sells complementary workshop equipment including hydraulic presses, cranes, lifting tables, jacks, dollies, workbenches, compressors, sandblasting cabinets, aerogommage machines, and associated accessories. These are sold as one-time hardware purchases alongside the core ultrasonic cleaner catalog.
5. Industrial custom / bespoke ultrasonic tanks: BPAC offers custom-built ultrasonic tanks (cuves sur-mesure) for specialized industrial applications, designed to order from customer requirements. This represents a project-based, made-to-order revenue stream.
6. Maintenance and repair services: BPAC provides after-sales service (SAV) including warranty repairs and out-of-warranty repair with a quote-based process. Spare parts are available for 5 years for ultrasonic cleaners and 2 years for other products.
