Walton is manufacturing world-class, high-tech motherboards, known as PCBAs (Printed Circuit Board Assemblies), in Bangladesh.
In addition to meeting its own requirements and domestic demand, Walton is exporting PCBAs and various technology products to numerous countries around the world.
As part of this ongoing export expansion, the shipment of Walton PCBAs to the United States was officially inaugurated on Thursday (June 18) at Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC’s headquarters in Chandra, Gazipur.
Minister of Post and Telecommunication, ICT Division and Ministry of Science & Technology Faqir Mahbub Anam and Prime Minister’s (PM) ICT adviser Rehan Asif Asad formally launched the PCBA export shipment.
Among others, Gazipur-1 MP Md Mujibur Rahman, Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC’s managing director SM Mahbubul Alam, directors SM Nurul Alam Rezvi and SM Monjurul Alam Ovee were also present at the event.
The advanced PCBAs, manufactured by Walton in Bangladesh, will be used in security devices integrated into sophisticated gunshot detection and emergency response systems in the United States.
The products are being imported by Safepro Technologies Inc., a Wisconsin-based technology company renowned for providing life-saving security solutions for educational institutions and public facilities across America.
This export launch marks a new chapter in Bangladesh’s journey toward becoming a global hub for advanced technology manufacturing.
Along with meeting its own internal demands for producing various tech products as well as domestic demands, Walton has been exporting PCBAs and various technology products to international markets, further strengthening the country’s position in the global value chain.
During their visit, the minister and the PM’s ICT adviser toured Walton’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and expressed admiration for the scale of operations and technological capabilities developed by the local company.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister Faqir Mahbub Anam said: “Walton has demonstrated that Bangladesh is capable of producing world-class technology products. Walton is not only manufacturing a wide range of electronics and technology products, but also exporting them to various markets around the world including the United States. Walton is a matter of our national pride.”
“In the proposed budget for FY27, we have taken initiatives aimed at encouraging locally manufactured products. We are reviewing the tax structure to provide greater incentives for Bangladeshi industries and help them expand further,” he said.
Earlier, the Minister and the PM’s ICT Adviser were welcomed at Walton Headquarters and attended a documentary presentation highlighting Walton’s journey and achievements.
They later visited the company’s product display center before touring several manufacturing facilities, including the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) motherboard production unit, television panel clean room, PCB manufacturing unit, and mold and die facilities.
