Trusted Product Authentication Partner Backed by 40 Years of Scientific Innovation
For more than 40 years, Microtrace has led the field in secure product authentication. As a privately held company, we prioritize long-term impact over short-term gains. Every element of our authentication systems is designed, developed, and manufactured within a single, vertically integrated operation. With a commitment to science and innovation, we help clients prevent counterfeiting, diversion, and risk with confidence, speed, and precision.
What Sets Us Apart
Full-Spectrum Expertise
Microtrace is more than a vendor. We are a complete partner in securing your products. We don’t outsource science or responsibility. While others rely on third parties, we design and manufacture every component. The result is a fully integrated system with fewer vulnerabilities and greater control.
Independent & Private
As a privately held company, we operate without the pressure of external investors. This independence allows us to prioritize long-term R&D and build lasting client relationships focused on measurable results.
Why In-House Matters
Security cannot be stitched together. We build and validate every component through a fully integrated process, aligning chemistry, application, detection, and analytics. This level of control eliminates gaps and ensures performance.
“Security isn’t a feature you add. It’s a foundation you build.”
