Tech/Engineering - International Org/Dev/Coop / Drinking water production
French term or phrase: grimper en gamme
I don't understand what grimper en gamme means here:

Le montage de l’ensemble sera confié à un partenaire industriel.
Un partenaire de toute confiance a déjà été trouvé pour **grimper en gamme** jusqu’à 50 machines par an.

Note:
The equipment for producing water from air humidity is of modular design, enabling the capacity in litres/day to be set.
