History

Teleca

Teleca was established in 1992 by a team of software specialists based in Manchester. Reference clients included Motorola, Racal, Digital, GEC, Hewlett-Packard, Psion and Siemens. Rapid expansion saw its customer base extend to cover mobile device vendors such as Nokia, Motorola and SonyEricsson.

Acquired in early 2000 and became the UK subsidiary of Sigma AB, a leading Swedish engineering services business with over 2500 professional staff across Europe.

In 2004 Teleca established a new office in Łodz, Poland and acquired Telma Soft, Russia in 2006. In 2008, Teleca opened up centers in India and China.

In 2008, Symphony Technology Group made a 100% buyout of Teleca and delisted it from the Stockholm stock exchange.
