Partnership strengthens OLI’s presence in Latin America by combining world-class industrial chemistry modeling with established regional engineering expertise.
OLI, the global leader in industrial chemistry modeling, today announced a strategic partnership with IEC (Instalações e Engenharia de Corrosão LTDA), expanding access to its predictive chemistry solutions for industrial organizations across Brazil.
The partnership combines OLI’s proven chemistry modeling technology with IEC’s decades of experience supporting corrosion management and industrial integrity programs. Customers across Brazil will benefit from local commercial engagement, technical guidance, and direct access to OLI’s software and consulting services through an established engineering organization with deep knowledge of the regional market.
“Brazil is an important market for industries where chemistry directly influences operational reliability, and working with experienced regional partners is central to how we support customers around the world,” said Mike Kochevar, VP of Revenue Operations at OLI. “IEC combines strong technical expertise with trusted customer relationships, making them an excellent partner to help organizations apply predictive chemistry more effectively within their operations.”
Since 1970, IEC has supported customers with corrosion engineering, cathodic protection, pipeline integrity, inspection, and technical training. Its extensive experience complements OLI’s predictive chemistry capabilities, enabling industrial organizations to work with a local partner that understands both the technical demands of their operations and the business environment in which they operate.
Mauro Barreto, Director at IEC, said, “Partnering with OLI allows us to bring world-leading chemistry simulation to our customers while continuing to provide the local engineering support they value. Together, we will help industry make better-informed decisions, reduce operational risk, and solve complex chemistry challenges with greater confidence.”
The agreement forms part of OLI’s continued investment in expanding its global partner network through carefully selected regional organizations. By combining local engineering expertise with OLI’s validated chemistry models and simulation technologies, the company continues to make its predictive capabilities more accessible while helping customers improve operational performance, reduce chemical risk, and make more informed engineering decisions.
The partnership is effective immediately, with IEC serving as OLI’s regional representative in Brazil and supporting organizations seeking advanced chemistry modeling solutions across the region.
