The company primarily markets its services in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia, addressing the demands of sectors requiring stringent quality and safety standards. IRISNDT generates revenue through a structured service delivery model that includes B2B transactions primarily within industrial sectors. Clients engage the company for specific NDT services, which are typically contracted on a project basis or through ongoing service agreements.

These transactions often involve partnerships with fabrication shops and manufacturers, especially during initial construction phases and maintenance turnaround projects. While pricing for individual services is proprietary, IRISNDT's portfolio includes flagship offerings like the Maxi-Trak™ Field Services, enhancing operational efficiency through real-time data management. The company's revenue model focuses on establishing long-term client relationships, emphasizing reliability, quality, and high service standards. The recent acquisition of IRISNDT by Apave Sudeurope SAS is anticipated to facilitate the company's future growth strategies.

Although specific new products have not been disclosed, the acquisition aims to strengthen Apave's geographical presence and market reach. The funding from the acquisition will support initiatives aimed at expanding into new markets and regions, enhancing operational capabilities to meet the needs of diverse industrial sectors. This strategic direction is expected to be realized in the coming years following the acquisition.
