Findustrial GmbH was founded in 2020 in Schörfling am Attersee, Austria, with one goal: give equipment manufacturers a way to sell usage instead of machines without carrying the financial and operational complexity alone. Today a team of 18 works with more than 50 manufacturers in machinery, robotics, environmental technology and charging infrastructure, and with 10+ institutional financing partners. More than €50M of equipment already runs as a service on the Findustrial operating system.
We are neither a software vendor nor a consultancy. We are a transformation partner that unites technology, advisory and refinancing, and we stay with our Pioneers from the first model to full scale.
Moving to Performance-as-a-Service was only logical for us. What has worked in printing and packaging for twenty years applies just as well to industrial shredders. We take it exactly where customers can’t predict how their utilization will develop – and it works because we offer it alongside purchase and leasing, not instead of them. The complete range of options – the main thing is that the customer picks one.
The market is clearly moving toward OPEX models, and we need to be able to meet that demand. With Findustrial, we’ve found a partner who truly understands the Equipment-as-a-Service business model – end to end, from setup and operations to refinancing. That gives us the confidence to bring EaaS to market in a professional and scalable way.
The PowerCube delivers up to one megawatt of charging power – from a grid connection that could never provide it on its own. No civil works, set up within hours and exactly where the power is needed. And from 14 cents per kWh.
We have identified EaaS as one of the strategic fields for the future. The Pioneers Program enables us to develop this field in a targeted manner and quickly go to our customers with an MVP.
Partnering with Findustrial enables us to democratize both the technology and the access to it, ensuring that businesses of all sizes can leverage the benefits of autonomous robotics.
By combining purchase, used equipment, rental, and now Equipment-as-a-Service, we can respond much more precisely to individual customer requirements. Our focus is always on the actual operational needs. In many cases, a partnership starts with rental and evolves over time. With multiple models available, we can define the next logical step together with the customer.
With Findustrial’s starter package, we not only received invaluable consulting but also hands-on, practical support during implementation. The rapid MVP launch and direct customer feedback helped us make significant progress.
With Movement-as-a-Service (MaaS), customers access state-of-the-art Agilox devices without tying up capital. They pay a mix of base and usage rates, while Agilox remains the owner and includes all services and spare parts.
The result: full cost control, lower total cost of ownership compared to purchase or leasing – and a 100% OPEX solution instead of CAPEX investments.
With Equipment-as-a-Service, customers with recurring equipment demand access shredding, screening, separation and composting machines usage-based and without CAPEX. Maintenance, spare parts and service are part of the rate.
The result: greater financial transparency, predictable costs and flexibility – with EaaS now complementing new machine sales, used equipment and short-term rental.

With Performance-as-a-Service, customers pay per operating hour instead of buying a shredder. A defined minimum usage keeps the model predictable for both sides, while maintenance, spare parts and service are bundled into one rate.
The result: uptime stays the customer’s focus instead of repair logistics – and Lindner covers the full range of commercial models, from purchase and rental to pay-per-use and Performance-as-a-Service.

The frameworks we use in the Pioneer Program, written down so your team can start before the first call.
How to build an EaaS MVP in 100 days: business model, pricing, contracts, financing and operations. The Playbook walks through the same six building blocks we use with our Pioneers, with checklists for each phase and the questions your CFO will ask.
Refinancing decides whether an EaaS model scales. The guide compares the refinancing structures available to manufacturers, from own balance sheet to pay-per-use refinancing with a leasing partner, and shows interest, risk and scalability for each so you can pick the right structure for your model.
How the internet and AI are transforming product companies, with 66 actionable product-service patterns. Co-authored by Findustrial’s Claudio Lamprecht with Felix Wortmann, Heiko Gebauer and Elgar Fleisch.

The questions manufacturers ask us before the first call. For everything about the model itself, see our full FAQ and the EaaS Glossary.
Findustrial works with equipment manufacturers that want to offer their machines, robots or systems as a service instead of selling them outright. Our Pioneers are typically mid-sized OEMs with 50 to 500 employees or investor-backed scale-ups, based in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, in machinery, robotics, environmental technology and energy or charging infrastructure. If your customers ask for OPEX instead of CAPEX and you want recurring revenue without taking on the full financing risk yourself, Findustrial is built for you.
All three, deliberately. Findustrial is a transformation partner that unites an operating system for Equipment-as-a-Service, an advisory framework (the Pioneer Program) and access to institutional refinancing partners. In our experience an EaaS model only scales when these three pieces are designed together: the pricing has to fit the refinancing, the contract has to fit the billing logic, and the software has to run all of it. You get one partner instead of three vendors.
The Explore phase, usually an ideation workshop plus market and TCO analysis, takes a few weeks. The Pioneer Program then takes you from validated business case to a signed pilot contract in 100 days. Scaling starts as soon as the pilot runs on the operating system. Komptech, HS-Mechatronics and AGILOX all launched their first EaaS offers this way.
No. Many manufacturers start with a few assets on their own balance sheet and move to external refinancing as the fleet grows. Findustrial structures the refinancing and connects you with 10+ institutional partners, including pay-per-use refinancing with s Leasing and Erste Bank that mirrors the variable cash flows of your EaaS contracts. Which structure fits depends on your model; the EaaS Financing Guide compares the options.
No. Equipment-as-a-Service works best alongside purchase, used equipment and rental, as an additional option for customers whose utilization is hard to predict or who need OPEX. Komptech and Lindner Recyclingtech offer all models side by side and let the customer choose. Your sales team gets a structural advantage in exactly the deals where the CAPEX objection would otherwise cost you the order.
Leasing finances a machine; rental provides it for a period. Equipment-as-a-Service sells the outcome: usage, uptime or output, with service, maintenance and often consumables bundled into one rate, and the manufacturer stays responsible for performance. That changes pricing, contracts, refinancing and operations, which is why it needs its own operating system. Our EaaS Glossary and the Equipment-as-a-Service page explain the model in detail.
No. The Findustrial operating system runs alongside your existing systems and takes over the parts an ERP is not built for: usage-based billing, contract lifecycle management, asset and fleet data, refinancing and financial control. Invoices, contracts and data are exchanged through interfaces, so your finance and sales teams keep their current tools.
More than 50 manufacturers, among them AGILOX (autonomous mobile robots), Komptech and Lindner Recyclingtech (recycling and waste processing), HS-Mechatronics (robotic automation), Europress Group (waste management), Palfinger and AW automotive (charging infrastructure). Their quotes and case studies are on this page under What our customers say.
