Primary: capital equipment unit sales; Secondary: aftermarket parts and service (~CHF 600-700M), growing as installed base expands

pricing_architecture
Cost-plus with competitive floor; pricing power supported by proprietary technology but constrained by municipal procurement tendering processes
Inferred
Agent_Inference
pricing_power_rating
Moderate (6/10); differentiated technology in sweepers and presses allows 3-7% premium, but public-sector tendering limits unilateral increases

Gross margin ~28-33%; industrial equipment segments cluster at 28-30%, aftermarket/service at 40-45%
Inferred

churn_vulnerability_index
No meaningful free-rider leakage; proprietary parts and service network creates natural recurring revenue capture from installed base

headcount_cost_structure
Revenue growth is broadly headcount-linear given manufacturing intensity; doubling revenue requires ~70-80% headcount increase, limited operating leverage
Inferred
Agent_Inference
marginal_cost_of_growth
Sublinear only in aftermarket segment; manufacturing expansion requires proportional labor and capex; EBIT margin improvement modest at scale

customer_acquisition_metric
At 10x scale, municipal procurement concentration increases, lowering CAC but compressing margins via volume discounts and tender competition
