Celebrating 40 years of global supply chain innovation - powering the world’s most complex supply chains

On January 22, 2026, OMP celebrated 40 years of helping companies worldwide turn planning complexity into confident decisions. The anniversary event in Antwerp, Belgium, brought together customers, partners, and team members to celebrate decades of collaboration and shared success.

Founded in 1985 as a small Belgian team, OMP started by exploring how mathematical models could support better planning decisions. Over the decades, the company has built long-term partnerships with some of the world’s most complex operations, including Procter & Gamble, Nestlé, BASF, Johnson & Johnson, and Roche. Today, OMP supports end-to-end planning for hundreds of manufacturers worldwide, optimizing daily operations and improving their bottom lines.

Partnership drives progress

From the start, OMP’s growth has been fueled by close collaboration with customers. Early projects solved practical planning problems, and over time, these partnerships evolved into integrated, decision-focused planning solutions.

Planning today goes beyond efficiency. With AI, real-time data, and scenario modeling, OMP helps planners anticipate change, explore alternatives, and act with confidence. Solutions are tailored to each industry and organization, turning planning into a strategic advantage.

“Unison Planning tackles real-world, complex challenges and delivers tangible results,” says Bob Herzog, former supply chain executive at P&G. 

“Unlike others who take a hit-and-run approach, OMP is committed to providing sustainable solutions that make a real difference.”

Turning challenges into opportunities

Over 40 years, OMP has helped customers adapt to disruption, from sudden demand shifts to supply constraints. By planning proactively, companies can make smarter, faster, and more resilient decisions.

“Decision-centric planning keeps a business prepared for any possible event,” says David Kochanek, Supply Chain Solution Manager at Evonik Oxeno. “With OMP’s Unison Planning, we now run hundreds of scenarios each week.”

As industries and technologies evolve, OMP continues to innovate alongside its customers, helping them stay ahead in an increasingly complex world. That’s why OMP has been recognized as a leader in Gartner’s Supply Chain Planning Magic Quadrant for 10 years in a row.

Celebrating history, looking ahead

The anniversary event at Kasteel van Brasschaat, tied to OMP’s early years, highlighted long-term partnerships and collaboration. Guests shared stories and celebrated 40 years of innovation with live music, a reception, and a seated dinner.

Building on this history, OMP continues to deliver AI-driven solutions that help customers plan proactively, respond to change, and make resilient decisions.

“Partnership is at the heart of everything we do,” says Paul Vanvuchelen, OMP’s CEO. “It guides how we develop solutions, empower our customers, and help them navigate complex global supply chains with confidence.”
