Industry icon Tele Radio celebrates 70th anniversary

New era dawns for Swedish maker of wireless remote controls

Seventy years of existence - few companies can say that. What began with Inge Dahlgren equipping his bicycle with radio equipment at the age of 17 grew into a global industry player with operations in more than 25 countries. Tele Radio supplies industries ranging from construction to salvage and from maritime to mining.

Tele Radio's industry-leading product range enjoys worldwide acclaim: from the simplest on/off switches to the most sophisticated belly transmitters - Tele Radio offers a solution for every wireless control need.

Connecting the past

Tele Radio's history is one of vision, resilience and continuous innovation. Having been founded in 1955, in Lysekil, Sweden, Tele Radio responds to an ever-growing need for reliable solutions for wireless control of machines. Tele Radio combines technical precision with practicality, paving the way for safe, smart and powerful communication between man and machine. These are first steps, which form the basis for a culture of craftsmanship and customer orientation. Tele Radio continues to develop, but always remains committed to safety. Expansion into new markets, the establishment of subsidiaries in Europe, North and South America and Asia, and steady sales growth shape the company into the international market leader it is today.

Governing the future

In 2023, the R&D, product management, sustainability, quality and compliance departments will be merged within the Allgon Group - bringing Tele Radio together with sister companies Åkerströms and Sistematica. The cooperation broadens the product range and accelerates innovation. The fruits of this are already visible in the launch of the new generation of PAQ handheld transmitters, which prioritizes safety, flexibility and an improved user experience in demanding industrial environments. Thanks to shared investments in research and development, customers can count on more regular updates, a wider range of accessories and wider applicability of the products. For seventy years, customers have relied on Tele Radio for safe, reliable and innovative wireless remote controls - and that promise is more alive than ever.
