A a result of the blooming years a number of research institutes were formed to ensure further development.

The first was the Metallographic Institute (Metallografiska institutet), founded in 1921[6] by director and physicist Carl Benedicks.

The Institute for Engineering Technology (Institutet för verkstadsteknisk forskning, IVF) and The Swedish Foundry Association (Svenska Gjuteriföreningen) were also formed during those good years.

When industry development and economy experienced a dip in the late 20th century, SICOMP was founded, in 1988, in order to strengthen competition through contributing with more advanced knowledge and research on composite material.
