The Titanium Research and Design Institute (NIP “Titanium Institute”) was established in 1956 to provide research and design work for non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises in Ukraine. In 1966, it became the specialized leading institute for titanium production in the Soviet Union. In 1971, it was merged with the Dnipro Titanium-Magnesium Plant to form the Zaporizhzhya Titanium-Magnesium Combine (ZTMK), and in 1976, it once again became a separate all-Union research and design institute responsible for the production of titanium and magnesium.
According to the Titanium Institute, it is currently the only comprehensive research and design organization in Europe in the field of titanium and magnesium production and primary non-ferrous metallurgy.
