Digital Audit: Greenkote

Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

• Greenkote publicly describes itself as a coatings technology company focused on proprietary metal alloy powders, process technologies, and turnkey coating systems, indicating that the reviewed public record is industrial and manufacturing oriented rather than enterprise-software oriented ¹².
• The current public materials reviewed for this audit do not identify Greenkote as a user or licensee of the named Israeli-origin enterprise software vendors Check Point, Wiz, SentinelOne, CyberArk, Nice, Verint, Claroty, or Palo Alto Networks ¹³⁴⁵².
• Greenkote’s investor information names Charles Street Securities Europe LLP as a financial adviser, but the reviewed public material does not disclose that firm as a systems integrator or as a disclosed channel for Israeli-origin enterprise software deployment at Greenkote ⁵.
• Greenkote states that, for turnkey coating systems, it will handle interactions with suppliers of parts, sub-assemblies, and equipment, but the reviewed public material does not name Israeli-origin software or cybersecurity vendors within those programmes ¹.
• No public evidence identified.

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

• The reviewed Greenkote website and privacy material do not identify the company as a user of facial recognition, biometric identification, gait analysis, BriefCam, AnyVision/Oosto, Trigo, Trax, or similar Israeli-origin surveillance or retail-analytics tools ³⁴².
• The reviewed public material also does not identify Greenkote as a user of predictive policing, sentiment analysis, social-media monitoring, or Israeli-origin workforce-surveillance technologies ¹⁴².
• Greenkote’s public disclosures reviewed for this audit do not show such technologies reaching the company indirectly through disclosed third-party platforms or managed security providers ⁴⁵.

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

• The reviewed Greenkote site pages, privacy materials, and UK corporate registry pages do not identify Greenkote as operating, leasing, or co-locating data-centre infrastructure in Israel ⁶¹³⁴.
• The reviewed public material does not identify Greenkote as a participant in Project Nimbus or other Israeli government cloud initiatives ¹⁴⁵.
• The reviewed public material does not identify Greenkote as providing cloud, sovereign-cloud, data-residency, or digital-resilience services to Israeli state or military bodies ¹⁴⁵.
• Greenkote’s privacy statement says the website may collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and browser types, says the site may be visited anonymously, and states that Greenkote does not use cookies ⁴.
• The reviewed privacy material does not disclose website hosting location, processor lists, or whether collected website data are stored in or routed through Israel ⁴.

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

• The initial 2020 OHCHR settlement-business database listed Greenkote P.L.C. as a business enterprise involved under listed activity (g), and that report defines (g) as “the use of natural resources, in particular water and land, for business purposes” ⁷.
• OHCHR’s 30 June 2023 update again listed Greenkote P.L.C. under activity (g) and identified its home state as the United Kingdom ⁸.
• The 26 September 2025 UN update A/HRC/60/19 again listed Greenkote P.L.C. under activity (g) and identified its home state as the United Kingdom ⁹.
• UK Companies House records show that the UK corporate vehicle remained active and that the company changed name from GREENKOTE PLC to GREENKOTE LIMITED on 27 October 2025, which supports continuity of the entity after the 2025 UN update ⁶¹⁰.
• Companies House charges records show pledges over “all shares of greenkote (israel) limited,” evidencing a documented corporate relationship between the UK entity and an Israeli subsidiary, with relevant charges created in June 2008 and later shown as satisfied in July 2020 and January 2025 ¹¹.
• Greenkote PLC’s audited group accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 list Greenkote (Israel) Ltd. as 100% held by the parent company and describe the subsidiary’s business as diffusion-coating R&D and production; the subsidiary is therefore an owned operating entity, not a software vendor, customer, or licensee ¹².
• Greenkote publicly markets coatings to the “Military” sector in its industries material ².
• A 2013 Greenkote-hosted licensing press release states that UK licensee Anochrome serves markets ranging from small fishing reel gears to large military casings, but that statement is not evidence of a verified Israeli state contract and is not Israel-specific ¹³.
• The reviewed primary corporate, registry, and parliamentary material does not identify a verified contract, tender award, or service agreement between Greenkote and the Israeli Ministry of Defence, the IDF, or Israeli intelligence agencies ⁶¹⁰¹¹⁴.
• The reviewed company, patent, and public-registry material does not identify Greenkote as a developer of offensive cyber capabilities, zero-day tools, spyware, or digital weapons ¹²¹⁵¹⁶.

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

• The reviewed public material does not identify Greenkote as training AI models on civilian-population data, intercepted communications, or surveillance-derived datasets from Israel or the occupied territories ⁴.
• The reviewed company, patent, UN, and NGO materials do not identify Greenkote as a supplier of autonomous target generation, automated threat detection, or autonomous tracking systems to Israeli forces ^1151617.

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

• Greenkote’s company overview says the business was founded in 1999 and develops proprietary powders and process technologies ¹.
• Greenkote’s current locations page lists operations or presence in the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, China, and UK licensees, but no Israel location appears on the currently visible locations page ³.
• A 2019 Greenkote-hosted safety data sheet identifies the supplier as Greenkote Plc, Industrial Zone Barkan, 448200 Barkan, Israel, and gives a +972 contact number and the email [email protected] ¹⁸.
• A US patent hosted by Greenkote lists assignee Greenkote Ltd, Barkan (IL) and inventors Avraham Sheinkman, Itzhac Rozenthul, and Ilana Diskin, each shown with Ariel (IL) addresses, and traces the filing to PCT/IL2008/000125 ¹⁵.
• Greenkote’s management page identifies Itzhak Rozentul as co-founder and CTO, and a 2019 EPO patent names Itzhak Rozentul of Ariel (IL) as inventor and Phosfan Ltd., 4482000 Barkan (IL) as proprietor, documenting Israel-based R&D activity by Greenkote’s co-founder/CTO in 2019 even though the patent does not by itself establish Greenkote ownership of Phosfan Ltd. ¹⁹¹⁶.
• The Israeli company record for GREENKOTE (ISRAEL) LTD. shows an active private company incorporated on 10.5.1999, reports the last annual report year as 2024, and gives an address in Caesarea, creating a current-address discrepancy with older Barkan-linked Greenkote materials ²⁰.
• The reviewed public material does not identify a verified Greenkote acquisition of an Israeli technology company or a strategic investment by Greenkote in an Israeli startup or venture fund ⁶¹⁰¹.
• The reviewed patent material does not identify co-development or licensing relationships between Greenkote and Israeli universities or research institutes such as Technion, Hebrew University, or Weizmann ¹⁵¹⁶.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History

• Who Profits maintains a Greenkote profile stating that Greenkote operates a licensed coating facility in the Barkan Industrial Zone, that the facility serves as an R&D and manufacturing site, and that Greenkote’s Israeli subsidiary has an additional address in Ariel ¹⁷.
• Within the memo’s reviewed source set, the Barkan linkage is corroborated by Greenkote-hosted safety-data-sheet and patent materials, while the claimed additional Ariel subsidiary address was not independently verified from a primary registry document retrieved in this session ¹⁸¹⁵¹⁷.
• AFSC Investigate reproduces the 2020 UN list and includes Greenkote P.L.C. in that list ²¹.
• A UK parliamentary written answer dated 6 August 2025 shows that Greenkote was specifically raised in Parliament in connection with the OHCHR settlement-business database, and the answer states that the government was aware of the database, did not comment on individual businesses, did not encourage or support settlement business activity, and advised British businesses to consider legal risk ¹⁴.
• The reviewed parliamentary, corporate, and public-registry material does not identify regulatory enforcement, export-control action, sanctions action, or court proceedings naming Greenkote for technology sales or services to Israeli state entities ⁶¹⁰¹¹⁴.
• The reviewed civil-society and parliamentary material does not identify an organised boycott or divestment campaign focused specifically on Greenkote’s technology provision, as distinct from broader UN-list or settlement-divestment campaigns in which Greenkote appears ²¹¹⁷¹⁴.
