Akerströms Björbo AB

Åkerströms Björbo AB is a Swedish manufacturer of industrial radio remote control systems, founded in 1918 when Anders Åkerström established the company in Björbo, Sweden, where it remains headquartered today (Björbovägen 143, 786 97 Björbo). Now part of the Allgon group and led by CEO Hanna Landell since March 2026, Åkerströms brings over six decades of specialized experience in wireless control for safety-critical industrial and mobile applications. The company's product line centers on two primary remote control platforms. The Remotus series delivers robust, safety-rated radio control for industrial cranes and heavy machinery, with the Jupiter Era 8B model representing the latest generation featuring enhanced reliability and ergonomic design. The Sesam series provides flexible, easy-to-use radio control for lighter industrial applications such as doors, gates, barriers, winches, and tail lifts, with the Sesam 800 Keyring offering a compact form factor. Beyond hardware, Åkerströms provides the Access_Ctrl connected service platform for crane access management and production data logging, helping operators improve safety and reduce downtime. The company also offers VR training simulators for crane operators. All products are engineered to meet strict safety standards and are certified for use in demanding environments. Åkerströms supports its global customer base through a network of partners and dealers, with comprehensive service offerings including technical support, maintenance agreements, on-site service, and training programs conducted both at the Björbo facility and at customer locations.
