Deswik

Founded in 2007 in Brisbane, Deswik grew into one of the fastest-growing mine planning software providers globally before Sandvik completed its acquisition in April 2022. The company operates within Sandvik's Digital Mining Technologies division while retaining its own brand and OEM-agnostic positioning. Over 10,000 software licences are deployed worldwide at operations including Boliden, Barrick, and BMC.

In February 2023, Sandvik also acquired Polymathian, an industrial mathematics firm specialising in optimisation and automated decision-making. Polymathian's products — now branded under Deswik — add mathematical optimisation, simulation, and real-time dispatch capabilities to the suite. Deswik serves both surface and underground operations across all commodity types.
