The core product is a continuous range of diesel-powered pile driving hammers spanning from the D2 model with a 200 kg impact weight up to the D300 model with a 30-tonne impact weight, marketed globally via downloadable catalogs in German, English, French, Spanish, and Russian, including a US-unit variant. The company serves construction and foundation engineering contractors requiring reliable, application-matched driving equipment across a wide spectrum of pile sizes and soil conditions. A used-equipment resale program is offered in conjunction with ABI GmbH, and the brand is positioned within the broader ABI Gruppe ecosystem that also includes DELMAG Drehbohranlagen (drilling rigs), INTEROC, and SPD AB.

Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of pile driving equipment with potential aftermarket support for parts and service; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company has 11-50 employees, no external institutional or private equity ownership is indicated, and no public revenue figures are disclosed.
