The move was driven by expanding partnerships in Europe and a pioneering spirit to explore opportunities across the Atlantic. This marked the beginning of OMP's fourth regional office after its founding in Belgium in 1985.

OMP’s supply chain planning software is part of a massive transformation within organizations Supply chain organizations have faced numerous disruptions, from the Suez Canal incident to COVID-19, leading companies to reevaluate their processes. To answer these disruptions, organizations need to leverage technology, causing them to transform the organization and redefine people’s careers in the supply chain sector. It’s key to see this transformation as a journey, where the company’s backbone is well-positioned before supply chain technology is deployed, says Tom Van Herzele, Partner at EY Belgium and head of supply chain services.“ This way companies can avoid the risk of simply replacing processes and people with software, without contributing anything to efficiency, cost reduction, and so on.”
OMP celebrated reaching the 1,000-employee milestone with a fun event at the company head office in Antwerp, Belgium, yesterday.
