MME Group is based in the Rotterdam area, in the Netherlands. The company was established in 1963 and has since grown into one of the most experienced and specialized firms in its field. MME Group serves customers around the globe in industries such as machine-building, oil & gas, offshore renewable energy (wind and tidal), shipping, and shipbuilding.
Corrosion is one of the most significant threats to the long-term integrity and profitability of assets. In fact, almost 4% of the total global GDP is lost to corrosion. Ships, offshore rigs, offshore wind turbines, harbor installations, floodgates, and other marine structures require adequate protection against corrosion. This should therefore be a priority during the planning, engineering, production, and operation of these assets. Failing to do so could negatively impact your ROI because of increased maintenance costs. These products and services help manufacturers, owners, and operators safeguard the integrity and profitability of assets and products throughout their lifecycles. In doing so, we contribute to “A Longer Life” for the assets and those involved with them.
Failing to do so could negatively impact your ROI because of increased maintenance costs. Ultimately, even loss of lives, and with it your reputation as an asset manager, is a realistic risk. The MME customer-focused team has decades of experience applying sacrificial anodes and impressed current systems to protect marine structures against corrosion. They are continuously enhancing their systems and driving innovation. MME Group has created a new way to operate, monitor, and maintain these protective systems.
MME Group anodes meet the U.S. Military A18001K specifications. This composition of zinc anodes is the result of more than forty years of studies and experiments conducted by corrosion scientists.

How do sacrificial anodes work?
Marine structures are predominantly made of steel, which makes them highly susceptible to corrosion. Seawater acts as an electrolyte, transferring electrons from the steel structure through oxidation. If not addressed, this gradual material reduction can degrade the structural integrity to the point of failure.
In addition to coating, the standard protection method is the use of sacrificial anodes. These are made of a more active or less noble metal (usually zinc or aluminum). The sacrificial anodes are attached to the steel structure, and because they oxidize more easily, they turn the structure itself into a cathode. The electrons leave the structure through the anodes, which slowly dissolve. Applying this physics principle protects the steel structure against corrosion.
All zinc and aluminum anodes in MME’s product range are produced in their wholly owned ISO 9001 certified foundry in Faversham, England (UK). With a distribution center in the Rotterdam area (the Netherlands), MME Group can supply an extensive range of anodes from stock to almost any location in Europe within days.
