The selection of AspenTech as its strategic innovation partner is the culmination of a long-term relationship dating back more than two decades.
The first stage joining digital initiatives will focus on renewables optimisation, unlocking industrial data, and developing a simplified integration across the company's supply chain.
“OMV continues its forward-thinking approach to digitalization solutions to help optimize and improve the way it operates,” said Michael Sattler, senior vice-president, value chain optimisation at OMV Group.
