ForceBoard™ is developed, marketed and sold by the Swedish company Industrial Dynamics Sweden AB located in Bastad on the Swedish southwest coast. You are always welcome to drop by our office if you are in the neighbourhood!
Background
The patented ForceBoard™ technology was conceived and developed by Marcus Helgesson, M.Sc., a graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. Marcus is the CEO and owner of Industrial Dynamics Sweden AB.
Prior to founding the company, he spent more than 10 years working in R&D, innovation, and project management within the automotive and medical device industries in Sweden and the US. He is the inventor or co-inventor of several published US patents covering various fields of engineering.
Marcus has also served as a guest lecturer at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm on multiple occasions.
Business concept
The core business idea behind ForceBoard™ is to help customers gain valuable insights faster, thereby saving time and money. In addition to our standard products, we offer ForceBoard™ customization and system development to meet specific customer requirements.
Our expertise is built on more than 10,000 hours of development work spanning mechanis, mechatronics, electronics, manufacturing and software engineering.
Innovation is our game
ForceBoard™ is not designed to do just one thing. Unlike conventional testing equipment, it is not restricted to performing tests according to one or a handful of specific ASTM or ISO standards.
Take its friction testing capabilities, for example. ForceBoard™ offers considerably more flexibility and testing possibilities than conventional friction testers, allowing users to explore friction under a wide range of conditions and configurations.
And that's just the beginning. The same platform can also be used for scratch, tensile, compression, fatigue, linear wear, adhesion, and tactile perception measurements.
One platform. Multiple testing capabilities. Virtually unlimited possibilities.
Our focus is always on innovation, versatility, and delivering exceptional value to our customers.

Mission
Our mission is to deliver a robust and high quality force measurement system to the world of engineering, product development, testing, research and teaching to allow for a faster and deeper understanding of products, components and materials. Quality, innovative features, timely deliveries and top of the line support are our top priorities. Expect nothing but true dedication and deep insight into multiple fields of engineering from us.
The name ForceBoard™
"The name is a combination of what it is used for - force testing - and where parts of its mechanical design comes from - skateboarding. There was no other name that could embrace the product like the name ForceBoard™ does."
- Marcus Helgesson, Founder
