M+P

What M+P does

M+P Raadgevende ingenieurs BV is an independent Netherlands-based consultancy firm founded in 1972 that specializes in noise and vibration engineering. The firm traces its origins to Abraham Melzer's acoustics practice established in 1962 and has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the German Müller-BBM group since 1972. It serves government agencies (Rijkswaterstaat, ProRail, Schiphol, and multiple municipalities), industrial manufacturers (including Scania and global tire and vehicle producers), and real estate developers with acoustic consulting, monitoring, prediction modeling, and policy advisory services across road, rail, aviation, industrial, and building sectors.

The firm combines field measurement expertise with proprietary software and hardware products, including the MACH office acoustic monitoring system, the CPXInspector software for road surface noise analysis, the SPERoN acoustic prediction model for asphalt, the VEC|M vehicle energy consumption measurement system, and a GIS toolbox developed with Arcadis for Rijkswaterstaat's Multi-Year Noise Remediation Program (MJPG). M+P also maintains the SilentRoads knowledge platform and contributes to EU standards bodies, Dutch legislative development, and post-hbo training programs.

Revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements, measurement and monitoring services, training delivery, and limited software licensing; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm is ISO 9001 certified, holds the highest tier of the Dutch CO2-Prestatieladder (Level 5), and is GDPR-compliant. Operations are delivered from two Dutch offices in Aalsmeer and Vught, supported by 51-100 employees including roughly 30-40 specialist professionals.
