Sweden-based wireless remote-control manufacturer Tele Radio is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, reflecting on the milestones it has achieved over these seven decades.
Grown out of the hands of Inge Dahlgren, who invented a bike fitted with radio equipment at the age of 17, today, Tele Radio is a global industrial layer with a presence in over 25 countries and a coverage ranging from marine to mining and from recycling to recovery, the company says.
Tele Radio’s history is one of vision, resilience and constant innovation, it says. Founded in 1955 in the village of Lysekil, Sweden, the first company is driven by a growing need for reliable remote-control solutions.
Tele Radio develops products that combine technical precision with practical usability, paving the way for safe, smart and strong communication between people and machines. These are first steps – and lay the foundation for a culture of engineering excellence and customer focus.
Tele Radio evolves but never gives up its commitment to safety. Expansion into new markets, the establishment of subsidiaries across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, and a steady rise in turnover mark the company’s evolution into the international leader it is today.
In 2023, Tele Radio’s R&D, product management, sustainability, quality and compliance functions are consolidated within the Allgon Group – uniting the strengths of Tele Radio and its sister brands Åkerströms and Sistematica. Combining these forces made a wider product range available to customers and accelerate product innovation, it says.
The fruits of integration are already visible in the launch of the next-generation PAQ handheld line, which emphasises safety, flexibility and a better user experience for demanding industrial environments. Customers can expect a steadier cadence of platform updates, broader accessory ecosystems and deeper application coverage as shared R&D resources will continue to pay off in the future, the company added.
