The Eidsvoll
Electronics Story

Eidsvoll Electronics was founded by Erik Olsson, a Swedish engineer, inventor and former employee at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment – FFI. From a young age Erik was genuinely interested in electronics and solving problems with technology.

THE STORY OF Eidel
1966-1986

In 1966, he established his own laboratory in the garage of his home in Eidsvoll. There, he began developing a satellite telemetry decoder, which was delivered to the Tromsø Telemetry Station the following year — marking the birth of Eidsvoll Electronics.

As demand for scientific instruments and environmental measurement systems grew, Erik assembled a team of talented engineers and moved into larger, more suitable facilities nearby. In the years that followed, the company became a national pioneer in the development of advanced telemetry and space-grade instrumentation. Over time, the company adopted “Eidel” as its brand name.

“Innovative Electronics” has always been Eidel’s trademark. Erik and his team built a company culture driven by curiosity, learning, and a willingness to explore new domains. This ethos was reflected in the development of remote measurement and control systems for subsea operations, telemetry decoders for monitoring offshore gas platforms, and avalanche detection systems. Among the more unique innovations was the now-legendary automatic chicken manure removal system (“Hønemøkk-raker”), designed and deployed for local farms.

In 1987, Eidel celebrated its 20th anniversary with the production of a promotional film, “Eidel, the story,” showcasing many of these innovations.

Although Erik retired in 1987, Eidel has maintained its core values of empowerment, synergy, and curiosity. Today, the company continues to strengthen its position as a strategic technology partner to the national defence and space industries.
