FOUNDER MESSAGE

Our History

It all started in the 1990s, with a team of dedicated researchers from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the IVF Swedish Institute Of Production Engineering Research.


We investigated the drivers behind modularization and how it was successfully employed in product design, development, and marketing by many companies, including Sony, Honda, and Scania. We built a working model for approaching and implementing modularization in a structured and effective way using our research. We recognized that our model would have great value for any organization dealing with changing customer needs and evolving technology offerings. That led us to form Modular Management in 1996 as a product development consulting firm.


In the years that followed, we developed two more methods: one to quantify the cost of product structure complexity and another to manufacture a modular product in the best possible way. These methods led to our growing reputation as experts in modularity. Today we use 20 methods and over 70 tools to give your company the best possible support for the modular journey. Modular Management Group is an international company based in Stockholm, Sweden, with subsidiaries in the U.S.A, Asia, and Germany. We're proud of the results modularity has achieved for our customers – companies like Whirlpool, Ericsson, ABB, and Volvo. And thanks to them, we never stop growing and expanding our competence. We're continuously challenged to improve and develop more methods and tools that make modularization faster, safer, and more effective.
