Connecting the past, steering the future: Tele Radio turns 70

Seventy years in business – not many industrial companies can claim that achievement. What began with Inge Dahlgren, who at the age of 17 fitted a bicycle with radio equipment, grew into Tele Radio, a global name in industrial wireless remote-control solutions. Today, Tele Radio operates in more than 25 countries, serving industries that range from marine to mining and from recycling to recovery. 

Tele Radio’s history is one of vision, resilience, and constant innovation. Founded in 1955 in the village of Lysekil, Sweden, Tele Radio emerges from a growing need for reliable remote-control solutions.

Connecting the past

From the very beginning, Tele Radio focuses on combining technical precision with practical usability. This paves the way for safe, smart, and strong communication between people and machines. First steps – that lay the foundation for a culture of engineering excellence and customer focus.

Over the years, Tele Radio expands into new markets, establishes subsidiaries across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, and continues to strengthen its position as international leader in wireless control technology – but never gives up its commitment to safety and reliability.

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.

Steering the future

The collaboration makes a broader product range available to customers as well as accelerates innovation. A clear example is the launch of the next-generation PAQ handheld line, which focuses on safety, flexibility, and an improved user experience for demanding industrial environments.

Customers can expect regular platform updates, an expanding ecosystem of accessories, and wider product applicability – all made possible by shared R&D efforts and continuous collaboration within the group.

For seventy years, customers around the world have trusted Tele Radio to deliver safe, reliable, and innovative wireless control systems. That promise is alive now more than ever before.
