Together, Apheon and MML will provide the capital and expertise to support TMC’s ambitious plans for strategic expansion and acquisitions.

This new capital structure strengthens TMC’s ability to expand into new markets and develop cutting-edge capabilities for clients, thereby solidifying its position as the top global destination for hightech engineering- and digital talent.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, TMC is a mission-critical partner for international technology and R&D consulting. TMC provides unique know-how and expertise, collaborating with blue-chip clients in dynamic and fast-growing market sectors such as Technology & Engineering, Life Sciences & Pharma, Energy & Renewables, and Digital & IT. TMC has developed a unique engineer-centric "Employeneurship model", becoming the home-of-choice for engineers, scientists and digital experts. TMC is active in 16 countries and employs some 2,750 people globally. This unique employeneurship model empowers engineers, scientists, and digital experts to excel in challenging roles whilst fostering professional growth.
Since Apheon acquired its majority stake in TMC in 2019, the company has achieved remarkable growth, nearly tripling its revenues to an expected €275 million by the end of 2024. This success has been driven by significant organic expansion across established geographies, including the Netherlands, Belgium and France while also entering exciting new markets such as Germany, Spain, USA, UAE and Tunisia.
TMC has also executed a selective acquisition strategy under Apheon’s guidance, partnering with Mobilee (2023), Guldberg/Personites (2024), and Open Pixel Systems (2024). With the renewed backing of Apheon as lead investor and MML’s strategic expertise, TMC is poised to build on this momentum and unlock its next phase of growth through both organic initiatives and accretive M&A activity.
The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals.
