Tecno, Infinix Maker Eyes Local Component Manufacturing in Pakistan

Transsion Holdings wants to make phone parts in Pakistan. The Chinese company owns the Tecno and Infinix phone brands.

Transsion runs an assembly plant in Pakistan called Transsion Tecno Electronics. It is a China-Pakistan joint venture. The company also makes electric bikes and energy storage products here. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb met George Zhu on Friday. Zhu is the founder and chairman of Transsion Holdings.

Transsion wants to move past phone assembly. The company plans to make components and add more value locally. This could build local supply chains and help local businesses. Aurangzeb welcomed the plan. He said a stable economy builds investor trust. He also pushed for more exports and more value added to local products.

Transsion called Pakistan a strategic market. The company pointed to Pakistan’s large consumer base and its location. Both sides talked about using Pakistan as an export base for phones.

A separate meeting also took place. Haroon Akhtar Khan, the Prime Minister’s advisor on industries, met Transsion’s team from Shenzhen. The government is writing a new Mobile and Electronics Device Manufacturing Policy. It will cover 2026 to 2033. The policy aims to move Pakistan from simple phone assembly to full manufacturing.

Khan asked Chinese firms to invest in Pakistan. He said, “Now is the right time to invest in Pakistan.” Government officials at the meeting included Secretary Ahsan Ali Mangi and Joint Secretary Freedoon Akram Sheikh. The Engineering Development Board will now talk to industry groups about the policy.
