INDUS adds measurement technology specialist to its portfolio |
m+p Group was established in 1980 under the name of Mahrenholtz + Partner Ingenieurgesellschaft by the then director of the Institute of Mechanics of (today's) Leibniz University in Hanover and his
collaborators. m+p is active in four business segments: vibration control, dynamic signal and noise analysis, process monitoring, development and construction of special testing equipment. The
company develops and sells high-performance measurement equipment and software systems for these applications and provides comprehensive engineering services for the operation and maintenance of
the delivered equipment. Among its customers are the world's leading companies of the automotive industry, the electrical and electronics equipment industry and the aerospace industry as well as a
large number of supplier companies and educational and research institutions.
Effective vibration analyses provide important information for design improvements on plants and products. Manufacturers of cars and aircraft, for instance, need to conduct intensive vibration
tests when developing new models in order to ensure high comfort in spite of the growing trend to increasingly lightweight design. The same applies to noise emissions, with vehicles expected to be
increasingly silent. Vehicles feature more and more electronic devices, which also need to be tested for vibration resistance. "m+p also benefits from the growing demand for software maintenance,
as more and more development departments rely on external specialists," says Jürgen Abromeit, Chief Executive Officer of INDUS. Today already, services account for over 30% of the company's US
sales revenues. The acquisition of m+p Group is an attractive opportunity for INDUS in the strategic growth segment of measurement and control technology.
