History

[edit]

Zenitel was established in 1901 when a group of Belgian entrepreneurs founded C.T.S.F. – Compagnie Générale de Télégraphie sans Fil.[2]

Following World War II in 1945, the company (then named S.A.I.T. Electronics – Société Anonyme Internationale de Télégraphie), established partnerships with Norsk Marconikompagnie A/S, Radio Holland N.V, and other companies.[2] In 1992, the partnership with Radio Holland led to a takeover and SAIT Electronics began trading under the name SAIT-RadioHolland.[2]

In 1997, the company was merged with Stentofon while in May 2000, a decision was taken on a merger between Stento ASA and the reorganized SAIT-RadioHolland.[2]

In 2001, the company celebrated its 100th anniversary and changed its corporate identity and name to Zenitel. [3]

In 2018, Zenitel acquired Phontech to further strengthen its market position in the Maritime and Energy industries.[4]

In 2021, Zenitel aquired ASL (Application Solutions Limited), a UK-based company delivering EN54 voice alarm solutions.[5]
