About MEAM NL bv

MEAM International is a Belgian-Dutch solution provider focused on making industrial processing smarter and more sustainable through microwave technology. The company works with industrial customers that need to heat, dry, cure, pasteurize, decontaminate, or otherwise transform materials more efficiently, and it supports them from training and feasibility work through custom system design and implementation.

MEAM positions microwaves as a route to faster processing, lower energy use, and reduced emissions compared with conventional heating methods. Its website emphasizes hybrid microwave-based systems, custom-built machines, and practical support for companies that want to scale microwave applications from research and pilot work into industrial production.
