Reactory Limited is a New Zealand-based company transforming the spirits industry with its proprietary technology that accelerates the maturation process. Founded by Mark Eltom, a serial entrepreneur with over 15 years in the alcohol sector, the company developed from experiments in his garage during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eltom devised a method using 'spirit reactors' to age spirits in days rather than the traditional years or decades, aiming to deliver equivalent or superior flavor profiles.
The company's core business is providing its reactor technology to distilleries, which significantly reduces production costs and environmental impact. The process decreases the cost of goods by up to 70% and lowers the environmental footprint by 95% compared to traditional barrel aging. This technology also eliminates the 'Angel's Share,' the portion of spirit lost to evaporation during conventional aging. Reactory's business model focuses on offering its technology as a service, enabling distilleries to produce high-quality aged spirits with greater efficiency and consistency. The system is scalable, capable of handling small 50L batches up to millions of liters annually. While the technology is its primary focus, the company also operates El Tom Distillery, which produces its own award-winning spirits like gin and rum, serving as a proof of concept for their technology.
Reactory has successfully completed a pre-seed funding round and is seeking further investment to scale its operations and expand its reach within the global alcohol production market. The company targets distilleries and alcohol producers, offering them a way to bypass the lengthy and costly traditional maturation process.
