Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with custom/bespoke manufacturing performed to order. Revenue streams include LED product sales (one-time), project planning/design/installation services (professional services), product rental for events (usage-based), and the T.F.C kitchen car deployment business. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct phone/email inquiry (06-6995-4163, [email protected]) supplemented by a catalog-based website and Instagram. Customers are predominantly large commercial facilities, shopping malls, outlet parks, theme parks, urban developments, airports, and government bodies across Japan, with marquee installations at AEON Mall, LaLaport, Mitsui Outlet Park, Tokyo Roppongi Hills Keyakizaka, Tokyo Marunouchi, Haneda Airport, Osaka Midosuji, Grand Front Osaka, and Expo City.
