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.
Transforming mining,
one innovation at a time
Our vision and mission are the fundamental beliefs that drive everything we do. They guide our decisions and define our commitment to making a real impact for our customers.
