Chinese electronics firm, ENGO Holdings Limited has joined Uganda’s industrial sector to manufacture and assemble mobile phones and laptop computers domestically.
The executive director, ENGO Holdings, Ares Chow Yu said the firm will unveil the first generation of products manufactured and assembled from the plant to the market before the end of this year.
Mister Yu said the plant will rely on Chinese imported motherboards, screens, touch panels, batteries, cameras and speaker receivers and vibrators as well as circuits for the domestic manufacture of the phones until trained workers will take up the commercial process from Uganda.
He added that the firm will invest $15 million over five years to increase the production capacity from initial 1 million mobile phone gadgets a year to its maximum.
