JMA was founded as a one-man professional practice in October 1988 and started to focus on providing groundwater consulting and water monitoring services to the mining and industrial sectors of South Africa. The firm became a closed corporation in 1997, namely Jasper Müller Associates CC, and immediately started to forge associations with other specialist environmental and engineering firms in order to provide sustainable environmental solutions to its clients. It was during this time that the JMA logo was introduced to brand the firm and a period of growth saw the firm develop into a multidisciplinary environmental consultancy, providing turnkey services in association with other specialist firms. In 2006 Jasper Müller Associates CC became a private consulting company and subsequently changed its name to JMA Consulting (Pty) Ltd. JMA Consulting (Pty) Ltd has since continued to provide specialist geological, geohydrological and environmental consultation to predominantly the mining and industrial sectors in South Africa.
