The company has 12 employees, more than 80% of whom are women, and is organized across R&D Laboratory, Production, Quality, Administration and Commerce, Marketing and Communication, and Design functions. It is privately held by founders with no external investors, and has secured non-dilutive EU co-funding through the Xpande Digital and ICEX-DANA programs in 2025 to support digital transformation and international expansion.
