The Story Behind the Name

Ollo is derived from the Greek word meaning ‘all’ or ‘everything,’ reflecting the diverse industries we serve. The two lowercase ‘l’s in the middle symbolise the unity and bond between the two founders, representing the back-to-back support they demonstrate. The word ‘OllO’ also mirrors binary code, embodying the digital foundation of our offerings.
