History
World-leading in industrial radio remote control solutions
2021
Swedish investment fund Bure acquires Allgon AB and invests in a variety of exciting expansion plans within the wireless communications industry. The company immediately makes plans for international growth.
2021
Allgon sells Smarteq Wireless AB to switch its focus entirely on the wireless remote control market.
2018
Allgon acquires Tele Radio — a leading supplier of wireless remote control technologies for industrial use that enjoys a global presence.
2016
Smarteq AB becomes Allgon AB, which heralds the beginning of a much wider strategy aimed at building a much larger share of the market for industrial wireless applications.
2015
Smarteq, which already owns several Allgon subsidiaries, acquires the Åkerströms brand — an industrial wireless remote control manufacturer.
2002
As Allgon continues to grow and diversify, management splits the company into a number of parts — each with its own specializations. Over time, the company’s subsidiaries grow more prominent. However, the brand’s association with innovation and quality endures, and its products are still used in communication technologies around the world.
1997
As mobile phone technology advances rapidly, devices become smaller and more compact. Allgon develops a retractable antenna that can be hidden away inside the device when not in use. By the end of the 1990s, Allgon is producing more than 100 million terminal antennas a year — making it one of the world’s largest manufacturers.
1995
As mobile phone traffic explodes thanks to increased affordability and mobility, Allgon experiences a period of rapid expansion. The company greatly improves its antennas for fixed base stations, which enables efficient operation across multiple bands.
1980
Allgon’s research and development into in-car telephony technology prove very successful. The company reaches an agreement to supply antennas for the fixed-base stations that process the signals used for car and telephone communications.
1975
As well as developing a range of antennas for cars and CB band radios, Allgon also focuses on antennas for military use. The company’s efforts prove very successful. Indeed, Alllgon’s slim and lightweight RFC707 is still used in the field to this day.
1972
The company invests in the development of a 25m steerable log periodic HF antenna (LPD 16) — designed for long-distance, confidential communications.
1968
During the 50s and 60s, Allgon Antenna Specialists focuses heavily on antennas for TV and radio reception, including products for CB band radios. In 1968, the company’s car antenna division split from the parent company and Torbjörn Cramner continues developing antennas for other uses. Allgon soon becomes the sole supplier of antenna systems for Swedish police cars.
1951
Following a period of sustained growth, Antenna Specialists moves to a larger, more modern production facility in Åkersberga. And it’s not long before the company develops a car antenna that can rotate 360 degrees — or ‘all directions.’ Allgon Antenna Specialists is born.
1947
Antenna Specialists is founded in Stockholm by Torbjörn and Veronica Cramner. The new company starts out by manufacturing radio antennas for cars and a range of domestic applications.
