"Elektron is a company developing electronic instruments and our aim is to pioneer the development of electronic music instruments by creating innovative, user friendly and magic sound sources. Our headquarter is located in Gothenburg, Sweden. The company started out back in 1998 when the Sidstation was developed as a part of a university course. Funding made serial production of the little gritty synthesizer possible and the Sidstation came to leave a lasting impression on the electronic music market."
