CQM+

What CQM+ does

CQM+ (Contrôle Qualité Métrologie) is a France-based professional services firm founded in June 2018 in Bruay-la-Buissière, Hauts-de-France, operating as a specialized metrology and quality management entity within the M&D Group. The company delivers on-site calibration and measurement services across six technical domains — temperature, pressure, flow (air, water, ultrasonic), electrical current/voltage, environmental chamber characterization, and dimensional/rotational measurements — using a mobile laboratory fleet ("Camion CQM+") that travels to client facilities to perform calibrations in instruments' actual operating environment without removing them. This on-site model is the central technical and commercial differentiator versus laboratory-based competitors. CQM+ also provides Qualiopi-certified training programs in metrology and ISO 9001/14001/17025 quality management, and a quality consulting practice covering audits, documentation creation, and compliance advisory. The company holds ISO 17025:2017 accreditation, ISO 9001:2015 alignment, COFRAC accreditation n°2-7351 for thermocouple calibration, and Qualiopi training certification.

The business model is professional services revenue with custom-quoted, multi-year contract cadence and no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer segments are horizontal: industrial professionals across all sectors requiring measurement reliability, traceability, and ISO compliance, plus quality-focused organizations pursuing certification and audit readiness. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct outreach supported by a service-detail website, a LinkedIn presence, and a contact form routing inquiries to the commercial team. The geographic footprint is regional, concentrated in Hauts-de-France. CQM+ is led by Quentin Avenin (Responsable CQM+) and Thomas Martel (Responsable Métrologie) and operates with 1–10 employees. Sister entities within M&D Group — CRITT M2A (mobility R&D and testing) and MA2S (industrial maintenance) — provide cross-referral and integrated industrial-services ecosystem positioning, though no quantitative data on inter-entity revenue or customer overlap is disclosed.

Core offering

CQM+ provides on-site metrology calibration services (temperature, pressure, flow, electrical, environmental chamber, and other measurements) for industrial clients, delivered through a mobile laboratory fleet ("Camion CQM+") that performs COFRAC-accredited calibrations at client facilities. The company also offers quality management consulting (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 17025 audit support and documentation) and Qualiopi-certified professional training in metrology and quality. Services are aimed at industrial professionals across all sectors in the Hauts-de-France region of France.

Product overview

CQM+ offers a unified portfolio of metrology calibration and quality management services organized into two main divisions: Métrologie (Metrology) and Qualité (Quality). The metrology division provides on-site calibration services across six specialized areas: Temperature, Pressure, Flow (Débimétrie), Electrical (Current/Voltage), Enclosure Characterization, and Other measurements (anemometry, hygrometry, weighing, rotational speed). The quality division delivers consulting, auditing, documentation creation, and both metrology and quality training courses. Services are delivered on-site at client premises with personalized support.

Direct peers

• Beamex: Finnish specialist in industrial calibration equipment and integrated calibration software/services. Comparable to CQM+ on the temperature, pressure, and electrical calibration service offering, with a complementary product angle in calibration handhelds and calibration management software.
• Transcat: US-based provider of calibration services and distributed process instrumentation, with on-site, mobile, and depot-based delivery models directly analogous to CQM+'s mobile Camion CQM+ approach. Comparable in offering multi-domain accredited calibration but operates at materially larger scale across North America.
• Trescal: World-leading independent calibration services provider with extensive COFRAC-accredited coverage across electrical, dimensional, physical, and thermodynamic metrology. Trescal is CQM+'s most direct competitor, offering similar on-site and lab-based calibration but at vastly greater national and international scale.

Broad incumbents

• Intertek: Global TIC incumbent offering calibration, quality assurance, and certification services to industrial clients. Comparable to CQM+ on ISO 9001/QMS-adjacent certification and on industrial calibration, but with global reach and a much wider service portfolio.
• SGS: Swiss-headquartered global TIC leader offering laboratory testing, calibration, and certification services worldwide. Overlaps with CQM+ on industrial calibration and ISO-system certification, but at multinational scale and with a much broader service portfolio.
• Bureau Veritas: Global French-headquartered TIC giant with extensive laboratory testing, calibration, and certification services. Overlaps with CQM+ on ISO 17025-accredited testing and metrology, and on QMS audit/certification work, but serves industrial clients across hundreds of countries.
• Eurofins: French-headquartered international testing services group operating accredited laboratories across multiple industrial and life-science verticals. Comparable to CQM+ as a France-rooted accredited lab services provider, though Eurofins operates at vastly greater scale and is primarily bio/analytical-chemistry focused.
• Endress+Hauser: Swiss-German instrumentation manufacturer with an integrated calibration services arm supporting its installed base of flow, level, pressure, and temperature instruments. Comparable to CQM+ on multi-domain industrial metrology, but as an instrument OEM-led offering rather than an independent service provider.
• Socotec: Major French TIC (testing, inspection, certification) group providing accredited calibration, inspection, and ISO certification services across France. Comparable to CQM+ in offering ISO 9001/17025-adjacent services, but at much larger scale and with national coverage that CQM+ cannot match.
• Apave: Long-established French testing, inspection, and certification group providing accredited industrial metrology, equipment inspection, and ISO certification services. Overlaps directly with CQM+'s calibration and QMS consulting work and serves the same Hauts-de-France industrial base but with broader geographic and service scope.
