Sweden-bred wireless remote-control manufacturer enters new decade of innovation

“Connecting the past, steering the future”

70 years of age – that’s not what any industry player can claim to have achieved. Grown out of the hands of Inge Dahlgren, who invented a bike fitted with radio equipment at the age of 17, Tele Radio is a global industrial player with a presence in over 25 countries and a coverage ranging from marine to mining and from recycling to recovery.

Tele Radio’s landmark catalogue is acclaimed around the globe: from the simplest on/off switches to the most complex belly box control units – Tele Radio covers each and every need for wireless remote control.

Connecting the past

Tele Radio’s history is one of vision, resilience, and constant innovation. 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.

Steering the future

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. Combined forces make a wider product range available to customers and accelerate product innovation.

The fruits of integration are already visible in the launch of the next-generation PAQ handheld line, which emphasizes 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.

For seventy years, customers have trusted Tele Radio to deliver safety, reliability, and innovation – and that promise is alive now more than ever before.
