The Story Behind the Name

Oligomaster = Oligomers (building blocks of polymers) + McMaster University (our origin and inspiration).

The name "Oligomaster" combines two powerful elements: "Oligomers" (small chain polymers) and McMaster University, where our story began. This synergy represents our approach to product development—helping our clients grow their ideas into fully realized commercial solutions.

Just as oligomers act as essential building blocks in chemical processes, we act as the building blocks in transforming ideas into sustainable market-ready innovations.
