Aeonic Radio Ltd, London, Company No. 234858[1] was an early manufacturer of radio receivers between 1928 and 1948. The company listed as public in 1929 and delisted in 1931. The manufacturing site was based at the Aeonic Works in Salfords, Horley, Surrey.
Rapid expansion in 1929 with the purchase of a German radio business Kramolin & Co. GmbH, Berlin - Pankow[2]to gain access to manufacturing capacity and numerous patents ultimately failed and was liquidated resulting in Aeonic calling for more capital to be raised.
May 1929. Capital increased to £225,000 with £125,000 issued
July 1929. Capital increased to £450,000
