The International Institute of Cellular Beam Manufacturers (IICBM), a 501-C-6 not-for-profit organization, has been formed to develop, establish, and maintain standards for the design and manufacture of cellular beams world wide. IICBM works closely with Architects, Engineers, and all the major building code bodies throughout the world helping to develop code resolution in regard to cellular beam design. The Institute's focus is testing, research, development, professional continuing education, and promotion of their use to professional and construction consultants.
