YPB was founded by John Houston, a serial entrepreneur who having successfully built operated and sold businesses all over the world, envisioned that brands increasingly needed to protect against counterfeit and could use this as a unique way to connect to their customers, especially in regard to China where YPB was founded in 2011.
​
In 2014 YPB listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and in 2015 launched “Connect”, a platform facilitating brands to engage with their customers which we predict will become vital in a world where e-commerce and cross border trade is growing rapidly. In 2018 YPB acquired the global rights to the multi-patented Motif Micro smartphone readable technology which we believe can deliver “certainty of authenticity” to the world. YPB is now a global organisation with offices in Australia, China, Singapore, Thailand and USA.
​
They live and breathe three words – certainty of authenticity – a phrase that comes from our single-minded focus on delivering technology that consumers trust to prove what’s real in a world of fakes … and brands trust to create and maintain a unique bond with their customers.
