About Us

Delivering insights for the mining and rail industries

Deswik was founded in 2008 with one simple vision: to improve mine planning for all mining sectors. Since then, we have expanded our presence to provide quality outcomes for customers worldwide. Our growth led to our acquisition by Sandvik, and shortly after, our acquisition of Polymathian Industrial Mathematics.

Our origins

From humble beginnings to global scale

Our founders, Wayne Romer, Ian Lawler, and Adam White go back to the mid-1990s when they identified the need for better mine planning software in the industry. Today, Deswik software is used by over 600 mining companies globally to make informed investment decisions across diverse commodities.

However, we didn't get here by developing software alone. Our success stems from a culture of improvement, dedicated employees, and attentiveness to our customers' needs. Deswik's evolution has been rapid, but our purpose remains steadfast—combining our technical and domain expertise to enhance your operational efficiency.
