What Vintech Pacific does
Vintech Pacific Limited, founded in 1998 (originally as Armourtech NZ) and rebranded in 2011, is a privately held New Zealand company headquartered in Gisborne that supplies mobile production technologies and technical services to the wine industry across New Zealand and Australia. It operates four business divisions: (1) Mobile Services, providing 18+ specialized winemaking technologies — including centrifuges, juice flotation, crossflow filtration, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, sterile filtration, electrodialysis (STARS), cation transfer (FreeK+), flash pasteurisation, ultrasound extraction (Perseo), molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), aroma capture (Resoul), gas management (Oxi_Out DGM), ozone sanitation, and a Microstar mobile lab — delivered directly to winery doors by trained technicians; (2) Regional Infrastructure Hubs in Napier (Hawke's Bay) and Blenheim (Marlborough) offering access to capital-intensive equipment such as Spinning Cone Column for low/no alcohol production, distillation, and grape spirit production; (3) Winemaking Products distribution, including Agrovin fermentation nutrients, wine yeasts, tannins, and stabilisation agents, Juiceworks NZ grape juice concentrate, CellarGroup's CellarGuard sanitation line, and Parklink winery wastewater treatment; and (4) Technology Sales as exclusive agent for Agrovin equipment in NZ and Australia. Its customer base spans large multinational wine groups (Constellation Brands, Vinarchy/Pernod Ricard portfolio brands Brancott Estate and Stoneleigh) and independent wineries (Giesen Group, Rapaura Springs, Isabel Estate, Te Pā Wines, Whitehaven).
Revenue is generated through a combination of professional services (mobile job-by-job deployment of equipment and technicians at winery sites), managed services (infrastructure hub processing for NoLo production and distillation), unit-priced product sales via an online shop and field accounts covering wine yeasts, tannins, sanitizers, wastewater treatments, juice concentrates, and NZ-sourced spirits and ethanol, and one-time/equipment sales as exclusive technology agent. Pricing is transaction-based with GST added, ranging from small-volume consumables (e.g., NZ Coolant Ethanol 5L at NZ$17 +GST, CellarGuard MouldClean Plus 5L at NZ$99 +GST) to large-volume outputs (Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc Grape Spirit 1000L at NZ$2,950 +GST, Neutral Wine Spirit 1000L at NZ$4,700 +GST) and capital equipment through the Agrovin line. Excisable products require valid LMA/CCA numbers.
The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, no parent company, no disclosed revenue figures, and only one public capital event — a $235,679 Callaghan Innovation grant in October 2019. Operations are run from regional bases in Auckland, Napier, Blenheim, and Cromwell, covering all major NZ wine regions, with Australian distribution handled through its exclusive agency and product distribution agreements.
