Revenue model

1. Industrial Machinery Sales (Capital Equipment): Comoli manufactures and sells winders and draw-winding machines as capital equipment. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of industrial textile machinery, including standard models (M250, M260, M300, E200, DWI, DWF, B300, S.HS, HDMD, RPC.M) and custom-configured systems. Machines are sold globally through regional representatives with installation and commissioning by Comoli engineers.
2. Professional Services (Installation, Training, After-Sales): Comoli generates revenue from after-sales service, installation, training, and maintenance services. Services include on-site and in-house training (electrical/mechanical winder training, maintenance and repair, equipment operation), installation support by mechanical and electrical engineers, and ongoing customer support worldwide. Remote service capabilities minimize machine downtime.
3. Original Spare Parts: Comoli sells genuine original spare parts for all its winding machines. Spare parts are available worldwide with short delivery times and are required to maintain machine warranty, high productivity, and maximum running time on machine.
4. Software Licenses and Upgrades: Comoli offers software products that equip their machines, with the ability to upgrade existing platforms with the latest advances in research and development. Software adds value by achieving special needs and can be upgraded remotely.
