MPP AERO & INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS

What MPP AERO & INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS does

MPP AERO & INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS is a Belgian non-destructive testing (NDT) services company headquartered in Herstal, Liège, founded in 2003 and repositioned through an industrial transformation in 2019. The company provides inspection, training, and on-site support to aerospace and industrial customers, with a named client base including Safran, Sonaca, BAE Systems, Sabca, Sabena Aerospace, Revima Group, FN Herstal, Atlas Copco, and Sobelcomp. Its aerospace focus is evidenced by EN 9100, ISO 9001, NADCAP, and customer-specific Safran AQPS, Sonaca, and BAE Systems certifications.

The company executes across eight NDT methods: Digital Radiography, Magnetic Inspection, Eddy Current, Fluorescent Penetrant, Ultrasonic (phased array), Thermography, Shearography, and CT Scan. Adjacent service lines include training and certification of external inspectors, on-site support, and deburring and polishing. Two R&D projects — AeroCT (CT scanning for 3D-printed parts) and LDCOMP (composites NDT) — extend the company's method coverage into additive manufacturing and next-generation airframe inspection, both anchored in the Skywin aerospace competitiveness cluster.

MPP is a privately held services business with approximately 9 employees operating from a single Belgian site. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service NDT inspection contracts, training and certification fees, and on-site support engagements. With no disclosed funding rounds and a small headcount, the business model is consistent with a focused, high-skill regional specialist rather than a scaling platform.

Revenue model

1. NDT Production & Expertise Services: MPP performs serial production inspections and expertise services at its Liège site for aerospace and industrial customers, inspecting parts made through machining, casting, composite fabrication, and additive manufacturing. Revenue is generated through service contracts and per-project engagements for non-destructive testing.
2. NDT Training & Certification: MPP organizes training and certification for customer inspectors according to normative requirements (EN4179, NAS 410) taught by Level III instructors. Sessions are held at MPP's Training Center in Liège or on-site at customer facilities. Revenue is generated through training course fees and certification exams.
3. On-Site NDT Support Services: Level II inspectors are deployed to customer sites for short- or long-term inspections. Level III services include qualification support, NDT process reviews for serial production, and external audit support. Revenue is generated through inspector deployment contracts.
4. Precision Deburring & Polishing: Qualified operators perform precision deburring, polishing, and welding on aerospace and industrial complex parts, including rework after NDT processes. Revenue is generated through per-piece or service contracts.

Direct peers

• Element Materials Testing: Global materials and product qualification testing group serving aerospace primes with mechanical testing, NDT and failure analysis. Comparable to MPP in aerospace testing capability but with a much larger lab network and broader testing menu.
• Mistras Group: Pure-play NDT services and integrated condition monitoring provider serving aerospace, energy and industrial markets. Comparable to MPP in offering a broad portfolio of inspection methods (UT, ET, RT, MT, PT) and on-site inspection services, but at significantly larger scale.
• Team Industrial Services: Specialist NDT and inspection services provider with strong aerospace, power and industrial exposure, offering radiographic, ultrasonic, eddy current and advanced inspection methods. Comparable service portfolio to MPP with on-site deployment capability.
• Applus+: Global testing, inspection and certification group with a dedicated aerospace NDT division (Applus+ RTD) offering radiographic, ultrasonic, eddy current, magnetic particle and penetrant inspection for aerospace primes. Closest like-for-like competitor to MPP in terms of multi-method aerospace NDT service offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC incumbent with aerospace industry services including NDT, materials testing and certification. Overlaps with MPP's inspection and certification offerings but as part of a much broader marine, energy, construction and consumer-products portfolio.
• SGS: World's largest TIC company with aerospace industrial services including NDT, materials and component testing. Adjacent competitor to MPP for European aerospace inspection contracts, though operating at a much broader and more diversified scale.
• Intertek: Global TIC group providing aerospace quality assurance, NDT and materials testing services to OEMs and tier suppliers. Competes with MPP on aerospace inspection work but at a vastly larger scale and broader service menu.

Others

• Zetec: Provider of nondestructive testing equipment and advanced inspection solutions (UT, ET, phased array) primarily for the aerospace, power and manufacturing sectors. Comparable adjacent supplier of the same technology stack MPP deploys in its service work.
• Evident (formerly Olympus Industrial): Manufacturer of industrial NDT instruments including ultrasonic flaw detectors, eddy current equipment and phased-array systems widely used by service providers like MPP. Functions as a key equipment supplier to the NDT services ecosystem rather than a direct service competitor.
• Comet Group (Yxlon): Manufacturer of industrial X-ray and CT inspection systems, including the Yxlon product line used in aerospace and additive manufacturing quality control. An enabling technology provider to NDT service firms like MPP rather than a direct competitor.
