History
Founding and early years
Teltonika was established in 1998 by Arvydas Paukštys in Vilnius, Lithuania. The company's first products included a glucose measuring device, a timing system device, and a current meter.
In 2003, Teltonika presented a versatile programmable controller at the Infobalt Expo.
Teltonika introduced its first GPS tracking device, the TBOXN12GPS, marking the beginning of its telematics business niche. [1]
Expansion into telematics and networking
In 2005, the company launched its first fleet management platform, TAVL.
A first surface-mount technology (SMT) production line was opened in Liepkalnis district in Vilnius in 2006.[1]
In 2007, Teltonika introduced its first cellular router, the RUT100, establishing its industrial networking business niche, and produced its first GSM module, the TM2.[1]
International expansion began in 2008 with the opening of the first foreign offices in Hong Kong and Pakistan, alongside a new division in Kaunas, Lithuania.[1] The company adapted an export-oriented business model, selling primarily to system integrators and fleet operators outside Lithuania.[2]
Growth and restructuring
In 2014, Teltonika began providing electronics manufacturing services to external clients – operations that later became the Teltonika EMS subsidiary. Production capacity was progressively expanded through 2017 and 2018 with new SMT lines and automated assembly equipment.[1] In 2020, the company announced plans for the Teltonika High-Tech Hill technology park in Vilnius,[3] and reorganised into a company group, establishing the holding entity Teltonika IoT Group with Arvydas Paukštys as president.[1]
Separate subsidiaries were created for each business niche: Teltonika Telematics, Teltonika Networks, Teltonika Telemedic, and Teltonika EMS. Teltonika Energy was added in 2021 following the introduction of the company's first electric vehicle charging product TeltoCharge.[1]
In August 2024, Paukštys transferred the management of the group to Marius Derenčius, who became CEO of Teltonika IoT Group.[1]
