Airlink Communication Limited is preparing to begin local assembly of Acer Gadget Inc. laptops in Pakistan, following the expected arrival of an initial shipment of 10,000 units by November.
The company shared this update during a corporate briefing attended by Topline Securities. The imported laptops will be used to test the market under a pilot phase, but Airlink has made clear its intention to shift to local production if the initial launch performs well.
Airlink’s management has stated that, once fully operational, the plant could assemble up to 10,000 laptops per month, contributing Rs. 4 billion annually.
By investing in localized assembly, Airlink aims to reduce dependency on imported devices, lower costs, and contribute to job creation within the country’s growing tech industry. The company plans to gradually increase local input in the production process if the pilot proves successful.
This move also supports the government’s efforts to promote industrial growth under the “Made in Pakistan” initiative, which encourages the development of homegrown manufacturing capabilities across various sectors.
gai bhens paani mein.
Alot of claims . All fake
Locally joined together not created. They’ll still be imported but in parts instead of full thing.
Commendable initiative by Airlink Communications.
1) Apart from the labor cost ehat percentage of parts component will come from local production,
2) Will their be any gradual transfer of technology, and
3) Will the production be cost effective for exports.
4) Hopefully Airlink’s assembly plant is established in Karachi after having its mobile phone facility in Lahore.
5) In the last few years we have had many free laptop schemes. Wondering if the same were from local production??
Not ‘made’ in Pakistan but ‘assembled’ in Pakistan. We cannot make anything good and useful on our own, not even explosives.
Very Happy on this word Made in pakistan
Sir mujha ik laptop cahiya mari arange ka
