The business model is project-based B2B services revenue, with income generated from equipment rental, show design fees, crew deployment, and permanent installation contracts. Customer segments are diversified across music festivals, corporate events, cruise lines (notably AIDA Cruises), TV and broadcast productions, sporting events, and architectural installations. Geographic operations are anchored in Germany and Europe with selective international projects in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southern Europe.
