The new factory will manufacture high quality smart televisions like OLED, LED, 2K LED, 4K LED and CRT Televisons. Besides, necessary spare parts of televisions like PCB board, panel, mother board, cabinet, etc will also be manufactured here.According to sources, Walton authority is now giving extra attention to manufacture world-class televisions as demand for these television sets has been growing day-by-day both at home and abroad. Television is no more a luxury item in the households of Bangladesh. Rather, it has become an integral part of education, information and entertainment of audience in the country.

Uday Hakim, Operative Director of the Creative and Publications Department of Walton, said an Asian country has been manufacturing television sets for different countries of the world.  As the labour cost has increased substantially in that country recently, price of television sets has also gone up though the quality has not improved at all. In such a situation, a great opportunity has appeared for Bangladesh to enter the global television market in a bigger way.‘We’re awaiting a period of time when the entire world will become dependent on Bangladesh to get high quality electronic products at affordable prices,’ he said.Walton brand refrigerators have already occupied a lion share of local fridge market. It is also manufacturing motorcycles, air-conditioners and some other products that have also attained huge popularity in the country.Besides, the company is going to manufacture 10 home appliances like washing machine, hair dryer, blender, juicer, etc soon.

The authority concerned claims that Walton has proved that it can manufacture high quality and world standard products.

Mostafa Nahid Hossain, an engineer of Walton Micro-Tech Industries Ltd, said that a plant to manufacture panels would be installed at the new television manufacturing factory. Only a few globally renowned television companies of the world have such kind of panel manufacturing plants.

He said Walton would manufacture necessary spare parts of television at its own factory using its own moulds. ‘We’re taking preparations to compete in the global market with unique designs applying our own knowledge.’

Walton’s Management Adviser SM Zahid Hasan said Walton has been manufacturing international standard products from the very beginning. Now it has become essential to manufacture high-quality television sets. Bangladesh may become the world hub of electronic products in future. Walton’s Research and Development department has been working constantly to change the total scenario of country`s electronics industry, he also said.
