DA-Design Oy, DA-Group's parent company, was established in 1995,[2] and expanded partially through acquisitions; in the beginning of 2008, the company purchased Elektrobit Microwave's space business unit (originally Ylinen Oy). In the fall of 2009, DA-Design acquired Cross Country Systems Oy's defence sector and industry automation operations.[5]

In 2014, "DA-Group" was registered as the auxiliary business name to cover both DA-Design Oy and its subsidiaries.[2] In 2015, DA-Group purchased Hämeen Paino Oy from Sanoma Media.[6]

The companies had previously collaborated in naval and underwater technology solutions.[9][3]

In 2019, DA–Group and Elbit Systems EW & SIGINT–Elisra started collaboration on the production and marketing of Immune Satellite Navigation System (iSNS), used for protecting against GPS interference and jamming threats.[10][11] DA-Group also purchased Creowave Filters, which designs and manufacturers high performance radio frequency filters for special applications in defence and the mobile network industry.[12]
