Oh yeah, forgot about this one… Nice to rewatch it, thanx! 
I think this is a usefull reminder that this is a small human scale Cie with passionate people… especially these days… 
They are growing but still…
24 996 likes on Facebook, if that number is more or less their customer base size, 16 peepz to manage all of this…
That would be a blast… A swedish Cie hand making their products paying chinese to like their FB page?
The Elektron products are like their business - a lot of creative power in a very small unit.
It might mean that things happen more slowly than other larger companies, but at least you know every person at Elektron actaully gives a damn about the product and customers.
I read this article earlier about how Moog are now partially employee-owned, and it reminded me of this thread.

I cannot imagine that Elektron are even close to the size of Moog. As people get on this forum and complain about some often very minor issues, I think it is important to recognize just how small of a group of people there are working together to design and produce some of the most unique, cutting-edge musical instruments ever. It isn’t some faceless corporate behemoth. It’s a few people working together to design some really advanced tech.
Elektron, keep on doing what you do best.
I live in Asheville… there are a number of employee-owned businesses around here…
i doubt elektron is more than a couple handfuls of people in sweden, LA, tokyo… and some contract work done for various things when new products are in design phase.
there are many a successful gear company with a 20 to 30 small products that are built in house and are only a handful of people. not just talking about modular manufacturers. 
if you want to compare elektron to another company look at DSI. seems a reasonable comparison. though i think DSI does more volume in sales.
edit: DSI has 8 employees as of 2013
" Dave Smith Instruments, started in 2002 and has eight employees in a small second-floor office in San Francisco’s Little Italy neighborhood."
Elektron is now 35 employees (according to a Swedish magazine article posted here recently).

seems about right… w/3 offices in 3 different countries. pretty lean really. also they’re how old now? 15 years? or almost? or more? i don’t remember. but seems that’s slow and steady measured growth. well earned

Yup! They know what they’re doing, as does DSI, and Moog obviously.
