Teletrol (officially Teletrol Systems Inc.) is a company located in Manchester, NH, within the United States, specializing in automation solutions for buildings. The firm’s offerings focus on centralized management of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) as well as lighting systems, aiming to optimize energy consumption and decrease operational expenses for organizations managing multiple locations. Teletrol provides hardware thermostatic controllers designed for remote facilities alongside browser-accessible software that facilitates communication through HTTP between individual sites and centralized control centers.
Established in 1981 by Richard Clemmons in Madison, Wisconsin, Teletrol began its operations serving Northern Illinois with the development of intuitive energy management tools. Later that year, Anchor Hocking Corporation acquired a majority stake, eventually securing complete ownership by the end of 1984. Following this transition, Dean Kamen from Manchester, NH restructured the business and introduced its current name.
Owned privately by Dean Kamen until July 15, 2009, Teletrol was subsequently purchased by Philips Electronics. The company maintains a nationwide presence with a workforce of about 37 employees, concentrating on lighting control technologies and environmental management systems for multi-site buildings.
