FOUNDING STORY

The history of OLI Systems

Founded in 1971 by a former Esso (ExxonMobil today) employee with a chemical engineering doctorate with a strong background in computer science who had a deep passion for process modeling and simulation. OLI initially developed flexible solution approaches for simple textbook style mathematical models that led to activity coefficients and simple electrolyte models and eventually predictive electrolyte modeling and the creation of highly rigorous property databanks for an ever increasing range of industrial applications and use cases.
