About OilExTech

Our company was established in 2012 by Bill Dean and David Hackleman and got its start as a research project at OSU, by focusing on small-scale oil extraction. Dean and Hackleman, along with three graduate students, discovered an efficient method of essential oil extraction using microwave ovens. From there, the men began a two and a half year development process until the kits developed into what they are today.

We have several EssenEx oil extraction kits available. Each of these are able to extract high quality essential oils from oregano, lavender, hemp, orange zest, and more. Our extraction kits are effective tools suited for students, and professionals alike, and even for those hobbyists who enjoy making their own homemade essential oil recipes.

Although there are certainly products that are cheaper or capable of larger-scale production, the EssenEx from OilExTech is, without a doubt, the perfect balance between affordability, efficiency, and ease of use. If you have any questions about the oregano oil extraction process, how to make recipes, or the EssenEx products themselves, please email us at info@oilextech.com or fill out our customer feedback form on our contact page for more information on how to make essential oil recipes.
