Axnes AS and ODM GmbH Announce Strategic Partnership to Expand Defense and Aviation Communications Solutions
Washington, DC — October 15, 2025 — At the prestigious Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, DC, Axnes AS, a global leader in advanced wireless intercom systems for aviation and defense, and ODM GmbH, a premier developer of high-performance headset solutions, officially announced and signed a strategic cooperation agreement. This milestone partnership is set to redefine integrated communication capabilities for defense and aviation professionals across Europe and worldwide.
The agreement establishes ODM GmbH as Axnes’ official representative in the DACH region—Germany, Austria, and Switzerland—specifically focused on defense markets. This strategic move enables Axnes to strengthen its footprint in one of Europe’s most technologically advanced and procurement-active regions, while leveraging ODM’s deep market knowledge and established relationships.
Simultaneously, Axnes will begin reselling ODM’s cutting-edge headset solutions globally, integrating them into its aviation product portfolio. This collaboration brings together two complementary technologies—Axnes’ robust wireless intercom systems and ODM’s ergonomic, mission-ready headset designs—to deliver a seamless, high-performance communication experience for operators in airborne, maritime, and ground-based missions.
“Signing this agreement at AUSA underscores the importance and global relevance of our partnership,” said Morten Skrovje, CEO of Axnes AS. “ODM’s expertise in headset innovation perfectly complements our mission to deliver robust and reliable communication systems to defense and aviation professionals. Together, we are enhancing operational effectiveness and safety for mission-critical environments.”
“We’re proud to join forces with Axnes and to make this announcement at one of the world’s premier defense events,” added Christopher Kuehn, CEO of ODM GmbH. “This partnership allows us to bring our headset technology to a broader global audience, while supporting Axnes in expanding its reach in the DACH region. Together, we’re setting a new benchmark for integrated communications in demanding operational environments.”
