Our Vision
At Tertiary Extracts Ōtautahi, we are pioneering the future of dietary wellness. Our journey consists of transforming a waste material into an innovative high-value protein that boasts an unparalleled amino acid profile - revolutionizing the norm.
Founded by an accomplished group of entrepreneurs with a proven track record in alternative protein extraction and solution development. Their vision is to create a sustainable business that adds value to New Zealand biologicals, including transforming waste streams into premium ingredients, deviating from the traditional market approach by offering ingredients that are not only traceable to their source but also backed by strong efficacy claims.
With a history of success spanning over two decades, the founders have successfully introduced products into high-value, niche segments in the dietary supplements market in the United States and Europe. This strategic focus remains a cornerstone of their operations.
Their expertise extends to the personal care sector, where they have conceptualized and launched high-performing new ingredients into key markets such as China, Europe, and the USA.
OUR DELIVERY
From starting processing operations in July 2024 to the end of March 2025 start up proteins company TEO converted 553 tonnes of waste sheepskins that would otherwise have gone to landfill into valuable protein. This materially improved the environmental impact of the NZ red meat industry by upcycling waste into a new export opportunity for value added, well differentiated proteins in the functional foods, dietary supplements and personal care sectors. This waste to value conversion is expected to grow to approximately 900 tonnes in the year to March 2026.
By March 2025 TEO had created 30 new STEM jobs, including protein manufacturing operations, supporting biologics and microbiological laboratory, MPI registered quality management systems and logistics functions suitable for export.
TEO is a finalist in the 2025 Primary Industries Innovation awards and the 2025 Fieldays Innovation awards, recognising the novel approach and innovative solutions we have developed.
