Northcom, a leading provider of critical communication solutions, has announced the acquisition of LS Elektronik, an engineering company based in Stockholm specializing in hardware and software for the professional communication market.

With this strategic acquisition, Northcom aims to expand its product offering, including the rapidly growing area of remote control of radio communication over IP and integration of various types of radio systems.

LS Elektronik will continue its operations under its own name within the Northcom umbrella and will further enhance the combined skills and experiences of both companies. Lars Stahre will continue his work within the company, bringing extensive industry knowledge and experience to support Northcom’s future endeavors. Roland Ehne, responsible for the marketing of Mimer SoftRadio, will continue to play a central role along with the rest of the experienced team at LS Elektronik.

Founded 30 years ago, LS Elektronik has built a strong reputation by delivering innovative communication solutions to global customers.

LS Elektronik’s focus on quality and ability to meet the diverse needs of customers has been crucial to the company’s success over the years.

We are thrilled to welcome Mimer SoftRadio and LS Elektronik to the Northcom family,” says Kenneth Hübner, Chairman of the Board for Northcom. “Their in-house developed products, technical expertise, and impressive customer base align perfectly with Northcom’s strategic vision. This acquisition not only expands our product offering but also enables us in way higher grade to provide comprehensive solutions for critical communication to our customers.

Mimer SoftRadio has established itself as a trusted solution for customers such as Scandinavian Airlines, Schiphol Airport, the Norwegian Armed Forces, Preem, Borealis, Green Cargo, Aker BP, and Avinor Stavanger. These customers are a clear indication of the quality and reliability of Mimer, which is currently present in over 60 countries.
