Our History
Founded in 1983 and based in Ontario - Canada, Aastra Technologies began as an engineering company. In 1992 the company started to specialise in Telecommunications to develop and market products and systems to access communications networks.
High levels of investment in research and development have been central to our success to date. This, combined with major strategic acquisitions, such as Ascom PBX Division and Ericsson Enterprise communications Division, has seen Aastra rise to the forefront of global communications technology.
Today Aastra employs 2100 people around the world. Aastra Business Telephone System solutions and services currently occupy a top 2 position* for total phone system in sales in Europe and are present in over 100 countries globally.
Aastra’s success has been underpinned by a very strong and stable financial position. With the global Business Phone Systems marketplace in financial turmoil, we have recently recorded our 47th consecutive quarter of profitability, a record without equal in the industry and one that we are justifiably proud of.
In 2008 Aastra joined the UN Global Compact Plan for Ethical business, the world’s largest corporate social responsibility agreement. Leaders provide leadership by advancing responsible corporate citizenship, developing practical solutions for globalisation problems, and sharing best practices.
