Company profile
researched Sep 2026VeriTX Corp. is a veteran-owned blockchain and cybersecurity firm based in East Aurora, New York, that develops tamper-evident data and supply-chain infrastructure originally created for the U.S. Air Force under SBIR, STTR, and Defense Production Act programs. Its flagship product, QuDEFENSE, is a data assurance platform providing real-time file transfer and file monitoring for data at rest and in motion, built for the U.S. Air Force and subsequently deployed commercially.
The company positions itself as a trusted marketplace for digital assets using a platform-based business model intended to support aerospace digital supply chains associated with Industry 4.0. By combining 3D printing with blockchain-based provenance, VeriTX aims to move production beyond a single factory into a distributed network, shifting the conversion of digital designs into physical parts to the point of consumption and reducing non-value-added supply chain costs such as packaging, shipping, and warehousing.
The domain vertix.co is also associated with VERTIX Co., a supplier of raw materials and industrial machinery for the metallurgical and foundry industries. That operation supplies coke, graphite, graphite electrodes and electrode pastes, ferroalloys including ferromanganese, ferrochrome, ferrovanadium and ferrotungsten, cast iron ingots, refractory materials, and metals such as cobalt and nickel, alongside foundry machines, machine tools, and plastic processing machines.
