Snapshot of Oritain Global
Tracking Supply Chains Back to the Source, with Science
Oritain uses forensic science and big data to bring truth and transparency to global supply chains.
Founded in New Zealand, where a spirit of ingenuity and agricultural innovation runs deep, Oritain is on a mission to be the source of truth for the world’s goods, from cotton and coffee to cocoa and beyond.
Its unique technology goes beyond barcodes and paper trails. Instead, Oritain analyses the product itself, measuring naturally occurring isotopes and elements to create a “fingerprint” that reveals where it came from.
This science-backed method enables brands like Lacoste, Nescafé, and Primark to verify origin claims, combat counterfeiting, and meet sustainability and compliance goals.
Oritain has grown rapidly, retaining over 100% of its customers year-on-year and recently raising NZ$90M ($57M USD) to expand its global fingerprint database and traceability solutions.
The company’s ultimate vision? To leave fingerprints, not footprints, building a long-lasting business that protects people, planet, and the truth.
Why Oritain Is a Great Place to Work
A Mission That Matters You’re not just building tech, you’re helping fight modern slavery, deforestation, and greenwashing. Every sample tested is a step toward a more transparent and ethical global economy.
Global Impact, Kiwi Heart Born in Otago, Oritain blends world-class academic science with New Zealand’s ‘number 8 wire’ spirit. It’s a company grounded in ingenuity and proud of its roots, but with a footprint in global boardrooms and courtrooms alike.
Forensic Science Meets Data at Scale You’ll work at the intersection of deep science, advanced analytics, and real-world application, tracing products back to their true origin with precision and purpose.
People Over Process Oritain prioritises inclusion, fairness, and wellbeing. All staff are paid a living wage, and there’s zero tolerance for unethical practices both inside and outside the business.
Built to Last The team is building not just for today, but for decades to come. That long view shapes everything from R&D to customer partnerships to culture.
