Talkin’ Things, a European manufacturer of high-performance RFID inlays and custom-engineered smart tagging solutions, has secured growth debt financing from Orbit Capital to accelerate its next stage of expansion.
Talkin’ Things designs and manufactures advanced RFID and NFC tags for customers across multiple industries. Combining innovation, engineering expertise, and large-scale production capabilities in Poland, the company delivers reliable identification and traceability solutions to clients worldwide to solve complex traceability and identification challenges.
Manufacturing in Europe enables customers to benefit from faster design-to-prototype cycles, shorter lead times, and greater transparency throughout the production process, while helping to reduce supply chain complexity and exposure to geopolitical disruptions, which is particularly crucial in highly regulated or sensitive sectors.
The company operates in the premium RFID tag market, a specialised segment of the broader global RFID ecosystem valued at approximately $14.5–19 billion and growing at 8–14 per cent annually. The market is being driven by accelerating retail digitalisation, warehouse and logistics automation, increasing demand for real-time asset visibility, and growing requirements for product-level traceability across global supply chains.
The sector is also benefiting from significant regulatory tailwinds. New frameworks such as the European Union’s Digital Product Passport and the US Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) are making traceability and product authentication increasingly important across pharmaceutical, industrial, retail, and luxury goods industries.
As a result, demand for advanced RFID solutions continues to expand, particularly within specialised applications where performance, reliability, and customisation are critical.
According to Marcin Pilarz, founder and CEO of Talkin’things:
“As customers increasingly seek secure, resilient, and traceable supply chains, the importance of locally engineered and manufactured RFID solutions continues to grow.
This financing provides us with the resources to accelerate our growth, expand customer relationships, and further strengthen our position as Europe’s leading specialist provider of custom RFID inlays.”
Wiktor Namysł, Partner at Orbit Capital, shared:
“Talkin’ Things combines three trends we find particularly compelling: accelerating RFID adoption, growing regulatory requirements around traceability, and increasing demand for resilient European supply chains.
The company occupies a unique position as one of the few European manufacturers capable of delivering highly customised RFID solutions with both engineering depth and rapid turnaround times.”
The backing reflects Orbit Capital’s strategy of partnering with technology-enabled growing businesses — offering non-dilutive capital to accelerate the growth of tech companies that have reached the scale-up phase and are aiming for global expansion.
The financing will support the company’s continued operational expansion, strengthen its working capital, and accelerate execution of its growing commercial pipeline.
