Brand: Haltron

Haltron, a London exporter of tubes and later semiconductors, and Asian-made radios in the 60s before merging in 1986.

Haltron was a brand of electronic components produced by Hall Electric Ltd., a company based in London. They were primarily active from the 1940s to the 1970s. Haltron's main business was importing electronic components, particularly thermionic valves from the United States for use in industrial, scientific, and general-purpose equipment.

Import and Export Focus

While they imported most of their tubes, Haltron also had some "Made in England" valves in their inventory. These were likely rebranded versions of tubes manufactured by other companies. Notably, Haltron was mainly an exporter, with their products finding markets around the world.

Shifting to Semiconductors

In the 1960s, as the electronics industry transitioned from tubes to semiconductors, Haltron adapted its business accordingly. They began importing semiconductors alongside tubes, catering to the changing needs of their customers.

Haltron Radios: A Subsidiary Venture

Around the same time, Haltron also ventured into the consumer electronics market through a subsidiary company called Global Imports. They imported transistor radios branded as "Hatron" from Asia, primarily focusing on the UK market. [1]

In 1986, a new chapter unfolded when Hall Electric Ltd. merged with Zaerix Electronics Ltd. to form Electron House PLC, leaving an indelible mark on the history of electronics.
