What Scanreco does

Scanreco is a Swedish-founded (1983) industrial remote control systems provider headquartered in the Stockholm area with manufacturing in Łódź, Poland and operations across Europe and North America. The company designs and manufactures ruggedized radio remote control transmitters (bellypack platforms Micro, Mini, Maxi, and the Flex series, plus handheld platforms Pocket, Rocket, Rocket Plus, Handy, and OneGrip) and matching receivers (G6 CAN, Proportional/CAN, Digital), underpinned by a proprietary Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) radio protocol operating across 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz bands, the modular SISP functional safety platform certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3 and ISO 13849 PL e, and a Never-Stop Technology testing philosophy delivering IP65/IP67 ingress protection across -25°C to +70°C operating ranges. Through its Faber-Com integration, Scanreco also delivers system solutions including electronic joysticks, tilt sensors, load limiters, CAN bus interfaces, PWM drivers, and turnkey hydraulic control integration for OEMs lacking internal expertise.

The company sells primarily to enterprise OEMs in construction, mining, forestry, agriculture, maritime, utility, and load handling industries through a hybrid model combining direct OEM lifecycle partnerships, a 50+ partner distributor network across 40+ countries, and regional sales managers. Named OEM customers include Palfinger, Putzmeister, Konecranes, Hiab, Schwing, HMF, Tyrolit, Fassi, Demag, and Stellar Equipment, supported by more than 700,000 installed systems globally and configurability across 600+ machine types. Pricing is quote-based on multi-year contracts covering both standardized configured platforms and fully custom new-development projects.

Following the April 2026 acquisition of CrossControl (a supplier of onboard display computers and vehicle computing solutions for industrial vehicles), Scanreco expanded its offering to combine handheld remote control with in-cabin HMI and vehicle computing under a single group. The combined group employs approximately 600 people and reports annual revenue of approximately SEK 1.4 billion (€120-130 million). Priveq joined as a minority shareholder alongside the CrossControl transaction while CrossControl founders remained majority shareholders in their operational roles, with CEO Peter Lageson continuing to lead the group.
