About MME
Mankind creates increasingly large objects. Our society can no longer do without bridges, ships, drilling rigs, refineries and other complex structures. Without due attention to quality and safety, these objects can pose a threat to people and to the environment. Ascertaining material integrity and protection against corrosion are therefore vitally important. MME Group is your partner in achieving this.

OUR HISTORY
The history of MME
Back in the day, before the 1960s, special surveys of ships required drilling holes in a ship’s hull to determine steel thickness. Obviously, this was an inefficient and costly practice.
After emigrating from the United Kingdom, Cedric Talbot started the company Materiaal Metingen NV in The Netherlands in 1963. He was one of the first pioneers who saw the potential of using ultrasonic technology to carry out marine inspections.
The first models of this Non-Destructive Testing equipment were heavy and bulky. However, not having to drill holes was well worth the effort and the new technology found quick adoption throughout the marine industry.
ABOUT THE INSPECTIONS
Exponential growth in the years after
From the beginning of the 1990s, the company, since then known as MME Group, made a number of strategic acquisitions. After having acquired the NDT training centre of the Rotterdam Drydock Company in 1989, Materiaal Metingen Europe BV was founded a year later.
This division focussed on the development of state of the art corrosion and growth prevention solutions. In 1993, the Destructive Testing Laboratory of the Dutch steel piping supplier Van Leeuwen Buizen was also acquired. In the same year, MME Group opened its anode foundry in the United Kingdom.
With these expansions, the company became a major player in material science, testing, inspection and corrosion prevention.
