Storno

Storno 980 mobile phone, 1988, manufactured by Motorola Storno.

Storno was one of the early leaders in the field of Public and Private Mobile Radio (PMR) in Europe.[1] The company is probably best known for its Radiotelephones and Mobile telephones like the Stornophone and Stornomatic series.

During the 1970s it became very successful and by 1975 one in four of all radio telephones in Europe was made by Storno. The number of export markets had exceeded 80 countries.

The 1986 acquisition by Motorola resulted in a whole new range of innovative communication products for the new owner, who continued using the Storno brand for another 6 years.[2] Storno was still headquartered in Denmark, and continued manufacturing in Germany and United Kingdom. With the addition of Storno's two-way radio products and the success of Motorola's MC microTM line, the sector significantly strengthened its position in Europe.[3]
