The lines of communication within the MTOC are very short, which allows easy communication about each other's knowledge and experience. This creates a technological competence centre with a high degree of professionalism. Principals will obtain a more complete answer, because their problem is tackled in a integral manner. Because the MTOC is a centre of knowledge, the location in close vicinity of large institute like DSM Research and Sabic R&D offer networking possibilities for the MTOC-companies.

Besides the companies at the Chemelot site in Geleen (DSM, Sabic, EdeA) the companies in the MTOC are working for small and medium business enterprises, world-wide for production companies in the areas of (petro-)chemicals, power, offshore, cement, paper, plastics, automotive, food and pharmacy as well as engineering companies and utilities.
