FIFTY YEARS OF WORK AND EXISTENCE OF METALLURGICAL INSTITUTE “KEMAL KAPETANOVIĆ” ZENICA
Metallurgical Institute "Kemal Kapetanovic" Zenica acts as a scientific and research organization for 50 years, and was set up at the moment when it was obvious that rapid growth of production and requirements in the technology of steel production in Željezara Zenica seek greater participation of scientific research then it was possible to organize within the existing Department of technical control of the mill. Headed by PH.D.. Kemal Kapetanovic, as a proponent of its establishing in 1961 it started its work with a great perspective huge local expectations.
Special attention was dedicated to process of setting up the basic concept of the Institute's research . As dominant orientation of the Institute in its development prevailed focus on training in the application of research and development of character for ferrous metallurgy, primarily Željezara Zenica. This concept enabled the Institute faster resolution of issues involved in production, and the orientation and program did not come into conflict with other research centers in the former Yugoslavia. For such decision Institute had role models in Western European countries with developed metallurgy.
A year after its establishment, in 1962 The Institute was moved to a new, current location, building of fire-proof dome that was renovated for that purpose.
The funds needed for renovation and equipment were provided from Željezara Zenica and loans of Federal funds for scientific work. After that, according to a prepared investment program and project documentation, a gradual approach to the construction and equipping of the Institute started.
The initial organization of the Institute was adjusted for functions of research, where they have established three basic types of formations: offices, laboratories and institutes. Later, the organization was adjusted according to the needs.
Perspective by the Agreement on NIR should ensure the proper growth of the funds on the basis of allocation for scientific research has not been provided, which directly affected the operations of the Institute.
Emphasized need for elimination of the problems noticed in the plan of organization of the Institute and reduction of the irrationality has launched a campaign, and during the 1987 until Jan.1st in 1988 it was done on its change. On the Business of the Institute particularly negative effect was cessation of functioning SOUR RMK and the loss of the largest clients and financiers of the Institute as well as the dramatically worsening of economic situation, especially in the sphere of ferrous metallurgy in this period. In order to adjust to the system of law of that period (Law on Enterprises, Law on social capital) and to the requirements of market economy the Institute in 1991, started an action on the constitution of the Institute as a joint stock company with mixed ownership through the issuance of internal shares.

December, in 2008
Toward the end of December in 2008 the first translations of the documents of quality system of The Metallurgical Institute „Kemal Kapetanović“ Zenica were submited to Norwegian Accredit Body.
Namely, in the middle of October during the operating visit a delegation of Norwegian Accredit Body NA visited BATA. During the visit Cooperation Agreement was signed. On the basis of this Agreement a project suggestion was defined. This suggestion amongst the rest includes a backup for accreditation by NA of few testing and calibration laboratories in Bosnia and Herzegovina which were already acccredited by BATA. Among all these accredit laboratories in Bosnia and Herzegovina suggested laboratories are laboratories of The Metallurgical Institute „Kemal Kapetanovic“ Zenica :
-Mechanical testing laboratory,
-Metallographic laboratory,
-Physical laboratory in the area of NDT testings,
-Mechanical calibration in the area of force and hardness,
- Laboratory for technical measurings in the area of calibration of temperature measures
Coordinators of this project are: Mrs. Azemina Klobodanović, graduate engineer- The Manager of quality in The Institute-representative of The Metallurgical Institute „Kemal Kapetanovic“ Zenica and Mr.Khalid Saeed-representative of NA.
In November in 2008 in English were translated master lists, lists of available equipment and accredit methods, all included laboratories, lists of equipment which should be acquired for needs of giving services in which is the firm Bjorge interested. All this was also submited to Mr. Khalid Saeed in Norway.
By this project it was also agreed that financial support for equipment which should be aquired can be expected from the Government of Norway and/or the firm Bjorge.
On 24th December, in 2008 we received the news that project suggestion for Providing services which support business and innovations and which was nominated as EU project got positive mark. This is how Bosnia and Herzegovina became a part of the widest network for business support in the world-Enterprice Europe Network.
Participants of this project are Foreign Trade Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina ( Euro info Corespondence Center-EICC BA ), Accredit Regional Agency of the northwest Bosnia and Herzegovina-ARDA, Technological park in Mostar, University in Sarajevo and The Metallurgical Institute „Kemal Kapetanović“ Zenica, of The University in Zenica.
