history
The research institute was founded in 1912 under the patronage of the Austrian Navy . After the collapse of Austria-Hungary , the institution had to establish international contacts in order to continue to exist. During the Second World War , development work was carried out on behalf of the Kriegsmarine , for example for concrete ship hulls. After the partial destruction during the war, operations were resumed in 1951 and now works for customers all over the world.
