Services
Engineering
Ontekso provides end-to-end process engineering support covering design, control, equipment
specification, and system integration. Our approach focuses on scalability and optimisation, ensuring each solution is eCicient, safe, and cost eCective. Every design considers chemical, mechanical, electrical, and structural interfaces to ensure smooth scale-up. Acting as your engineering partner, we align every technical decision with your commercial strategy.
Regulatory Navigation
Expert guidance through New Zealand’s complex regulatory framework for industrial and small-scale facilities. Ontekso embeds compliance into every project phase, aligning with NZ legislation, council requirements, and AS/NZS standards. We define regulatory pathways, coordinate certifications, and prepare documentation that supports ongoing operation or development. Our network of specialists in hazardous substances, explosive areas, pressure equipment, and structural engineering ensures every
design is compliant and fit for purpose.
Project Delivery
Comprehensive project delivery support, from feasibility through to commissioning. Ontekso leads multidisciplinary teams, coordinates suppliers, and manages milestones to ensure delivery on time and within budget. We emphasise risk based decision making, transparent communication, and technical accountability to accelerate market readiness.
Feasibility
Independent technical assessments and feasibility studies that evaluate process viability, capital cost, and operational performance. Ontekso conducts process modelling, techno-economic analysis, and technology reviews to inform scale-up potential and strategic investment.
Clients
Start-Ups
Supporting founders and early stage ventures to transform innovative ideas into scalable, functional technology. Ontekso provides flexible engineering input to validate, refine, and scale processes while maintaining a pragmatic focus on safety and compliance, building the technical foundation for future funding and commercialisation.
Research Institutes & Universities
Partnering with research teams to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and industrial application. We translate research findings into practical engineering pathways, covering scaling strategy, project management, equipment specification, and cost estimation to enable the next step toward commercialisation.
Manufacturing
Supporting manufacturers seeking to expand capability, optimise existing processes, or repurposing waste streams into value added products. Ontekso helps integrate new technologies seamlessly into existing facilities, balancing innovation with operational safety, compliance, and production reliability.
VC's, Investors and Board Members
Providing independent engineering insight to support investment and governance. We support both pre- and post-investment, giving investors and boards a clear understanding of each technology’s capability, growth potential, and safety.
