Tele Radio Group

What Tele Radio Group does

Tele Radio Group is a Swedish manufacturer of industrial wireless radio remote control systems, founded in 1955 in Lysekil and now headquartered in the Gothenburg/Askim area. The company designs and builds certified radio remote transmitters and receivers that let operators safely control machinery from a distance, with current product lines spanning the next-generation PAQ Hand platform (OmniPAQ 8, DuroPAQ D6, SupraPAQ D10, DuroPAQ 8, SupraPAQ 12) and R30 receivers, the Tiger G2, Panther, TEQ Waist, and legacy T20/T60 systems. Underlying technology centres on a multi-processor architecture that separates radio communications, plug-ins, and security onto discrete silicon, multi-frequency support (433/869/915 MHz and 2.4 GHz DSSS), a C-based plug-in framework, RFID-based user permissions, and the FieldManager smartphone companion app for configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates; flagship products carry PLe/CAT4/SIL3 functional-safety certification. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications plus REACH compliance round out the compliance footprint.

The business model is B2B hardware sales of certified remote-control systems sold primarily through a wholly-owned subsidiary network of 26 entities across Europe, the Americas, and Asia (Germany, France, Russia, Brazil, Denmark, Poland, Turkey, USA, Australia, UK, India, Benelux, Croatia, Spain, and others), supplemented by OEM/embedded integration into equipment built by construction, crane, marine, and trailer manufacturers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Tele Radio serves industrial and manufacturing operators, lifting and crane applications (its primary segments), as well as mobile/hydraulic, marine/offshore, and increasingly environmental and municipal technology customers.

Since 2023, Tele Radio has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swedish conglomerate Allgon Group, sharing engineering and trade-fair presence with sister brands Åkerströms and Sistematica. Current CEO Ola Samelius leads 51–100 reported employees globally, supported by regional subsidiaries managing local sales, technical support, spare parts, and customization. Major customers named in case studies include Garaventa, OHIS, EVA Optic, Lammers Concrete, Strong Machines, Derks, VDL Container Systems, Pilz, Triton Submarines, and Kässbohrer; more than 20 OEM partners showcased Tele Radio-integrated equipment at Bauma 2025.
