Tecno, Infinix maker eyes component manufacturing in Pakistan

Transsion Holdings is considering moving beyond smartphone assembly in Pakistan to produce components and deepen local sourcing, Business Recorder reported on November 13. The Chinese group, whose brands include Tecno and Infinix, discussed its current operations and future investment possibilities with Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and his delegation.

Transsion Tecno Electronics runs an assembly unit in Pakistan as a China-Pakistan joint venture. The company also outlined its presence in electric bikes and energy storage, while discussions covered local supply chains, supporting industries and opportunities to add more value through component production. The talks also addressed the possibility of using Pakistan as a manufacturing and export base, but the report describes plans and opportunities rather than a confirmed investment commitment.
