Our Current Stage
Development Conversations Welcome
Materially Kiwi is progressing formulation, front-end processing, performance testing and pilot-scale planning. The material is not yet available for ordinary commercial ordering.
We welcome expressions of interest and early technical conversations that help define future requirements. Sample availability, testing and collaboration scope will be discussed individually as development progresses.

Helpful Answers
Can I order the material now?
Not yet. Formulation, testing and scale-up are continuing. We can record your interest and discuss future requirements.
Can brands request samples?
We welcome enquiries, but sample timing and format depend on the current development programme and the value of the proposed evaluation.
Do you discuss confidential projects?
Initial conversations should remain high-level. Appropriate confidentiality arrangements can be considered before proprietary information is exchanged.
Are international enquiries welcome?
Yes. Materially Kiwi is based in New Zealand and welcomes relevant conversations with organisations in New Zealand and internationally.
