Overview

Oritain commercialises forensic traceability technology that analyses intrinsic chemical and isotopic signatures to create immutable "Origin Fingerprints" for products. The firm operates global labs and uses methods developed at the University of Otago to identify origin for goods including meat, honey, milk, fibres, coffee, cocoa, cotton, and palm oil. Oritain sells these verification services to brands and producers to support ESG commitments, reduce fraud risk, and protect reputations; clients include Lacoste, Supima, Primark, A2 Milk, and Nescafe. The company reports a client retention rate of over 100% and compound annual growth of 90% year‑on‑year over the past six years. Founded in 2008 and based in New Zealand, Oritain partners with brands to audit supply chains using its Origin Fingerprints. The firm says it will use new funding to further develop its technology and expand into new markets and industries.
