The history of ZENITEL dates back to 1901, when a group of Belgian entrepreneurs founded C.T.S.F. - Compagnie Générale de Télégraphie sans Fil. None less than King Leopold II and Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of the wireless telegraph, supported them. Following World War II, the company (then named S.A.I.T. Electronics - Société Anonyme Internationale de Télégraphie) entered into various collaboration agreements with other companies including Radio Holland N.V. and Norsk Marconikompagnie A/S. In 1992, the successful partnership with Radio Holland led to a takeover and SAIT Electronics began trading under the name SAIT-RadioHolland. The next milestone came along in 1999, when the company decided to restructure its organisation and focus on core activities.
In May 2000, a decision was taken on a merger between Stento ASA and the reorganised SAIT-RadioHolland. Stento ASA was a Norwegian-owned international provider of . It started its activities in 1946 as a supplier of radio communication systems to ships and fishing boats under the name of Stentor Radiofabrikk AS. The company later expanded its offerings with intercom systems for business and public services under the brand name Stentofon.This name was adopted as the name of the company. In 1997, Stentofon AS merged with another Norwegian supplier of internal communication systems and provider of PMR-systems, RingCom AS, itself the result of a merger between RingMaster and Noracom. The merged company was named Stento ASA. Both had close business relations with Motorola, and Stento eventually became the main distributor for Motorola in all of the Nordic countries. Stento quickly expanded through a number of acquisitions, amongst which were the acquisition of Philips Intercom and Nursecall.
In 2001, ZENITEL celebrated its one hundredth anniversary, changed its corporate identity and name to ZENITEL and moved into new headquarters in Zellik (Belgium).
